Abstract

AbstractA high‐throughput composite catalyst is prepared from porous carbon with an unconventional nanocube morphology decorated with nickel nanoparticles. Owing to the advantageous properties of the designed carbon support, the composite combines a high surface area and a hierarchical pore structure with high functionality. Furthermore, the regularly shaped nanocubes allow for a good packing of a fixed‐bed flow reactor, in which the internal transport pores cannot be blocked and stay open for efficient column performance. The composite is employed as a catalyst in the hydrogenation of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5‐dimethylfuran (DMF), showing good catalytic performance and overcoming the conventional problem of column blocking.
