Preparation of supported catalysts with high nanoparticle loading is a considerable synthetic challenge. Here, by using a metal organic framework as sacrificial template, the authors report a cobalt catalyst with a 50% Co loading with superior activity in the C5+ selective production of hydrocarbons from syngas.
