Synthesis and Characterization of Multicore–Shell Fe3O4-Au@SiO2 Particles Prepared by the Stöber Method
摘要
Multicore–shell Fe3O4-Au@SiO2 (FAS) particles were successfully synthesized by the Stöber method with various ratios of Fe3O4/Au. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results show that the FAS material exhibits a spherical morphology and is relatively uniform, with an average particle size of approximately 400–500 nm. Additionally, the FAS samples form a structure of porous SiO2 shells with multiple cores. These FAS particles exhibit superparamagnetism with saturation magnetization proportional to the Fe3O4:Au ratio and absorb visible green light, with a surface plasmon resonant peak around 545 nm. The magnetic and optical properties of these particles make them well suited for a broad range of biomedical applications.
