The morphology and heterojunction engineering are effective ways to boost the performance of Cu-based catalysts. Herein, we have reported the designed synthesis of two-dimensional Cu-CuO heterojunction nanosheets (2D Cu-CuO NS) based on 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES, KH550) aided synthetic strategy. The APTES can act as both the ligand and alkali (-OH) source to guide the large-scale synthesis of 2D Cu-based precursor, which can transform into 2D Cu-CuO NS by the controllable post-treatment. The Si species from APTES can protect the particles from the severe aggregation and growth, guaranteeing the formation of 2D sheets composed of small-sized Cu-CuO heterojunction (about 20 nm). The heterojunction interfaces can provide plentiful active sites to boost the catalytic ability. The 2D sheets can provide large accessible surface, being conducive to the contact of the catalyst and reactants. Benefiting from above virtues, the 2D Cu-CuO NS showed the superior catalytic performance for the reduction of a series of nitro compounds, being superior to most reported non-noble metal-based catalysts. Notably, it exhibited good re-cycled performance with no obvious performance degradation after 10 consecutive catalysis. The present study will be promising to promote the application of the Cu-based catalysts, due to its ability to control the morphology and potential for the large-scale synthesis.
