This paper reported a novel catalyst CuO/graphene oxide (CuO/GO) for the efficient amination of benzene to aniline, with NH3 center dot H2O as the aminating agent and H2O2 as the oxidant. The catalysts were characterized by ICP-AES, XRD, TEM, and FTIR. It was found that 30 wt% CuO/GO exhibited excellent and steady activity in the reaction of benzene to aniline, and the yield of aniline was 77.3% and selectivity to aniline was 99.2%. After 5 times of reuse, its activity showed little loss. These results provide a new promising approach for the aniline green production.
