Synthesis of magnetic hybrid magnetite—gold nanoparticles

Methods for the synthesis of hybrid nanoparticles, consisting in the simultaneous modification of the magnetic core and reduction of gold on the surface using various reagents, were proposed and developed. Depending on synthesis conditions, various hybrid nanoparticles were obtained, namely, hybrid nanoparticles decorated with gold nuclei and hybrid nanoparticles of the core—shell type. The obtained products can be used as promising materials for catalytic and biomedical applications.
