FT special report: Cobalt nanoparticles with a size of around 7.7 nm prepared in 1‐alkyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imidate ionic liquids are effective catalysts for the Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis, yielding olefins, oxygenates, and paraffins (C7–C30). The nanoparticles are easily prepared by the decomposition of [Co(CO)8] in the ionic liquid at 150 °C and can be reused at least three times if they are not exposed to air.
