A simple but effective way of fabricating high-performance Fe3O4@SiO2@Ag MNPs.
The inner SiO2 shell improves the dispersion of MNPs and provides sites for Ag seed deposition.
The shell-coating process was completed within a few seconds and the resulting product highly uniform in size and shape.
The MNPs combine the merits of both Ag NPs and Fe3O4 MNPs can be a versatile SERS substrate.
