A previously proposed method for silica-coating of Co nanoparticles was extended to silica-coating of Co–Pt alloy nanoparticles. The alloy nanoparticles were prepared from CoCl2(1.2×10− 3M), H2PtCl6(1.2×10− 3M), citric acid (4×10− 4M) and NaBH4(1.2×10− 2M). The silica-coating was performed in aqueous/ethanolic solution with a silane coupling agent, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (8×10−5M), and a silica source, tetraethoxyorthosilicate (7.2×10− 4M) in the presence of the alloy nanoparticles. TEM observation and X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that the alloy nanoparticles were coated with silica and consisted of fcc Co–Pt alloy crystallites with crystal sizes of 4.6–10.7 nm. Magnetic properties of the silica-coated particles were strongly dependent on annealing temperature. Maximum values of 1.4 emu/g-sample for saturation magnetization and 450 Oe for coercive field were obtained for the particles annealed at 300 °C. Annealing above 300 °C transformed the crystallite from the alloy to pure Pt probably through oxidation of cobalt in the alloy, resulting in reductions in saturation magnetization and coercive field.
