Photocatalytic oxidation is one of the technologies to overcome pollution that can be applied for air and water purification. TiO 2  has been widely used as a photocatalyst, however, several disadvantages of TiO 2  including low absorption of visible or solar radiation, rapid recombination of electron and hole as well as low stability limits its practical applications especially for wastewater treatment. Thus, to overcome this problem, this study aims to develop highly adsorbent photocatalyst using TiO 2 /SiO 2  composites with sugarcane bagasse waste act as SiO 2  source. The experimental results show that the photocatalytic performance of TiO 2 /SiO 2  composite in the decolorization of methyl orange exhibits three-fold enhancement compared to neat TiO 2 . Several catalyst characterizations were obtained including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Characterization data show that a phase transformation was obtained from amorphous to crystalline phase by increasing TiO 2  content. These results proved that the feasibility of SiO 2  from sugarcane bagasse waste coupled with TiO 2  can be utilized for wastewater degradation.
