Core-shell Nb 2 O 5 /TiO 2  composite with hierarchical heterostructure is successfully synthesized  In-situ  by a facile template-free and acid-free solvothermal method based on the mechanism of liquid phase epitaxy. The chemical circumstance change induced by the alcoholysis of NbCl 5  is utilized tactically to trigger core-shell assembling  In-situ . The tentative mechanism for the self-assembling of core-shell structure and hierarchical structure is explored. The microstructure and morphology changes during synthesis process are investigated systematically by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The dramatic alcoholysis of NbCl 5  has been demonstrated to be the fundamental factor for the formation of the spherical core, which changes the acid circumstance of the solution and induces the co-precipitation of TiO 2 . The homogeneous co-existence of Nb 2 O 5 /TiO 2  in the core and the co-existence of Nb/Ti ions in the reaction solution facilitate the  In-situ  nucleation and epitaxial growth of the crystalline shell with the same composition as the core.  In-situ  liquid phase epitaxy can offer a different strategy for the core-shell assembling for oxide materials.
