Microporous carbon foams were synthesized as structured catalyst supports by the carbide‐derived carbon (CDC) method. The self‐supporting foams showed a narrow pore size distribution which seems to induce shape‐selective effects during reactions. The applicability of these materials as supports for active metals was tested in a hydrogenation reaction of different olefins with a CDC powder wet impregnated with platinum.
