Small and stable: Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles are homogeneously anchored onto reduced graphene oxide through the simultaneous hydrolysis of Fe(acac) 3 and reduction of graphene oxide. This nanohybrid is highly resistant to sintering and retains its small particle size upon reduction at 723 K and long‐term Fischer–Tropsch synthesis at 543 K (see figure). This work validates the prospect of graphene‐related nanomaterials in challenging high‐temperature applications.
