An efficient catalyst of Ni/C hybrid nanosheets was prepared via a facile and simple procedure. The highly dispersed and sub-3 nm Ni nanoparticles (NPs) were coated with the carbon nanosheets which can prevent the aggregation and growth of the Ni NPs. The Ni/C hybrid nanosheets exhibited high activity for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), which was much higher than many noble metal NPs. Additionally, the magnetic Ni/C hybrid nanosheets showed good separation ability and reusability.An efficient catalyst of Ni/C hybrid nanosheets was prepared via a facile and simple procedure.
