Graphical abstract: CoPt NPs are successfully synthesized by sol–gel method. Different distinct particle sizes with narrow particle size distribution of CoPt nanoparticles are obtained. The maximum coercivity of 254,720.3 A/m is obtained for 800 °C heat-treated sample. Display Omitted Highlights: ► L1{sub 0}-CoPt NPs with FCT structure are successfully synthesized by sol–gel method. ► The maximum value of 254,720.3 A/m is obtained for the samples heated at 800 °C. ► The synthetic route proposed in this study is less toxic and easy-to-handle. -- Abstract: The face-centered tetragonal (FCT) ordered L1{sub 0} CoPt nanoparticles (NPs) are prepared by the sol–gel method. Their structure and magnetic properties are characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), the transmission electron microscope (TEM) and the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results indicate that the CoPt NPs heated at 400 °C are the disordered face-centered cubic (FCC) structure, whereas the samples annealed at the temperature above 600 °C exhibit an ordered FCT structure. TEM images show the increase of the particle size as the annealing temperature increases. SAED images show the appearance of the L1{sub 0} phase at 800 °C, and the maximum coercivity is 254,720.3 A/m.
