Magnetic nanoparticles exhibit unique nanoscale properties and their utilization for various magnetic systems is of significant interest. Especially, heterostructured magnetic nanoparticles are emerging as next-generation materials due to their synergistically enhanced magnetism and potential multifunctionalities. Herein, we overview the recent advances in the development of magnetic nanoparticles with a focus on multicomponent heterostructured nanoparticles including alloys, core–shells, and binary superlattices synthesized vianonhydrolytic methods. Their multifunctionalites and high performance capabilities are demonstrated for applications in high density magnetic storages, chemical catalysis, and biomedical separation and diagnostics.
