Highly stable graphene‐encapsulated iron nanoparticles (Fe@G) are synthesized by a simple arc‐discharge method. Consisting of metallic iron core and graphene shell, the Fe@G is quite stable in air and can resist acid etching. As a catalyst for a Fischer–Tropsch reaction, it exhibits superior catalytic performance to bare iron NPs.
