Catalytic functionalization of nanoporous copper generates a novel type of hierarchically hollow bimetallic nanocomposites, which show superior catalytic performance with greatly enhanced antipoisoning effect for methanol electro‐oxidation. With the advantages of high catalytic performance, eco‐friendly chemical processing, and low fabrication cost, these nanostructures hold great potential for important energy‐saving technologies.
