Heterostructures are the materials made up of different metals or components. They are not separate species. You will get only one morphology where they are completely blended with each other. They are interlinked. Ex. MnMoO4, CuWO4
Composites are the materials where 2 or more components present independently with given ratio. They will have individual identity and can be observed through SEM and TEM. Ex. Cu2S-MoO3.
In terms of band gap, for heterostructures usually get only one band gap energy (sometimes 2) but composites get minimum of 2 band gap energies.
Core-shell structures are those where one component is enveloped by other. These may be considered as a type of composites. Of coarse band gap energy will not be same as that of either of the components. It depends on the composition ratio
