Abstract: In order to well arrangeactive sites and avoid byproducts, the reasonable structured carriernanocatalyst plays a crucial role in high catalytic performance, but stillremains a challenge. Herein, the layered CuNi-Cu₂O/NiAlO_xnanosheets have been constructed through hydrothermal synthesis followed bycalcination and H2 reduction treatment process. The in-situ formed CuNinanoalloys (NAs) and nano-Cu₂O were evenly distributed on thebilateral surface of layered NiAlOx nanosheets. Based on the planar structureof nanosheet, the synergy between catalytic active CuNi NAs and photocatalyticactive nano-Cu₂O endows CuNi-Cu₂O/NiAlO_xnanosheets with rapid conversion efficiency for catalyzing p-nitrophenol (p-NP,14 mg·L^-1) to p-aminophenol (p-AP) in 32 s with the reaction rateconstant k up to 0.1779 s^-1, and no obvious performance decay can beobserved even over 27 cycles. Moreover, high concentration of p-NP at 10 and 20g·L^-1 could be reduced to p-AP within 14 and 20 min, respectively.Such designed nanoalloy/bimetal-oxide heterostructure can provide a solutionfor rapid conversion of aminoaromatics from nitroaromatics wastewater even at alarge concentration range.
