A novel kind of Cu-based catalytic membrane reactor (CMR) has been developed for the efficient reduction of p-nitrophenol (p-NP) to p-aminophenol (p-AP) in a continuous flow-through system. The CMR is prepared by the composite of MOF-derived nanoporous Cu/Cu2O networks and a porous matrix of nylon f...
