Abstract
, which was much higher than numerous noble-metal nanomaterials. In addition, CuO hexapods and CuO-Ag composite were also shown to act as highly efficient and recyclable catalysts in the degeneration of 4-NP. Both CuO hexapods and the CuO-Ag composite exhibited outstanding catalytic durability, with no significant loss of activity over more than 10 cycles in the hydrogenation of 4-NP.
