Multifunctional Fe3O4@SiO2鈥揂u@silicalite-1 core鈥搒hell magnetic zeolite composites were fabricated by combining a series of sol鈥揼el process and vapor-phase transfer of silicalite-1 zeolite nanocrystal-seeded silica shells. The obtained composite has high magnetization (32.00 emu/g), stably confined and active gold nanoparticles (ca. 15 nm), and a hierarchical silicalite-1 outer shell. The core鈥搒hell composite exhibits a high efficiency of magnetic separability, excellent catalytic performance, and reusability for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol with conversion of 98% in 12 min. Moreover, it preserves a good stability after a high-temperature hydrothermal treatment.
