Sumario:Carbon-encapsulated Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully synthesized from a single precursor using one-step solvothermal methods. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the as-prepared NPs, and UV-visible absorbance spectroscopy was used to check their optical properties. The morphological results revealed that Fe(3)O(4)@C, quasi-spherical Fe(3)O(4) particles encapsulated by carbon. In addition, the carbon-encapsulated Fe(3)O(4) NPs were conjugated with folic acid (FA) to be used as biomarkers in the diagnosis and treatment of tumour cells. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopic techniques were used to confirm the conjugation process.
