High dispersion g-Fe 2 O 3 combined with Au nanoparticles (denoted as g-Fe 2 O 3 -Au NPs) coated by mesoporous silica spheres (denoted as m-SiO 2 ) were synthesized by a facile one-pot method process.The dispersion of g-Fe 2 O 3 seed is extremely important to the formation of g-Fe 2 O 3 -Au@m-SiO 2 composite, by using a certain amount of neutral b-CD as stabilizing agent, high dispersion g-Fe 2 O 3 NPs with 16 nm can be prepared. Besides, different number of g-Fe 2 O 3 -Au NPs within composite can be tuned with the addition amount of g-Fe 2 O 3 seed. TEM images showed the ordered morphology, good dispersion, and uniform particle size of g-Fe 2 O 3 -Au NPs inside composite. Furthermore, XRD, M-H curves and N 2 sorption characterization confirmed g-Fe 2 O 3 -Au@m-SiO 2 composite possessed good magnetic property, uniform mesopore distribution and high surface area.
