Multifunctional Fe3O4@SiO2@GdVO4:Eu3+ core shell nanocomposite for a potential drug carrier
Core shell structured multifunctional nanoparticles, Fe3O4@SiO2@GdVO4:Eu3+ have been prepared through a simple hydrothermal method. The obtained magnetic fluorescent nanoparticles exhibit high saturation magnetization (17.33 emu g 1) excellent luminescence, and high specific surface area (19.04 m2 g 1) N2 adsorption desorption and cytotoxicity experiments indicated that the asprepared material has large accessible pore volume (0.16 cm3 g 1) and good biocompatibility, that suggest promising application in drug delivery.
