Nanocomposites based on Cu 2 O and Ca‐montmorillonite (Ca + ‐MMT) with different composition were successfully prepared via a simple hydrothermal method. The as‐prepared Cu 2 O‐MMT nanocomposites can rapidly catalytically oxidize the colorless chromogenic substrate, 3,3′,5,5′‐tetramethylbenzydine (TMB) into blue oxTMB with the aid of the H 2 O 2 only in 30 s, which were observed by the naked eye. The reaction catalyzed by the Cu 2 O‐MMT nanocomposites followed the Michaelis–Menten kinetics. Compared to the MMT or Cu 2 O alone, Cu 2 O‐MMT with different mass ratio exhibited an enhanced peroxidase‐like activity. The fabricated H 2 O 2 sensor exhibited a good response to H 2 O 2 with a linear detection range from 3 to 80 μM as well as a detection limit of 2.395 μM. Taking the advantages of the Cu 2 O‐MMT nanocomposites, including outstanding peroxidase‐like activity and high sensitivity for colorimetric detection of H 2 O 2 , a colorimetric sensor based on the Cu 2 O‐MMT nanocomposites was designed and used to rapidly detect H 2 O 2 in a short time.
