A process for preparing a fused-ring alkane fuel, wherein the fused-ring alkane fuel has the following structure: wherein n is 1 or 2; R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are H or —CH3 or —CH2CH3; the fused-ring alkane fuel has a density of greater than 0.870 g/cm3, a freezing point of not higher than ?50° C., and a net mass heat value of not less than 42.0 MJ/kg; the process for preparing a fused-ring alkane fuel, wherein the process includes steps of: (1) in a presence of ultraviolet light and a photocatalyst, a Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction between a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic enone and a substituted or unsubstituted furan molecule occurs to produce a fuel precursor molecule: (2) the fuel precursor molecule obtained in the step (1) is subjected to hydrodeoxygenation to produce the fused-ring alkane fuel.
