CuO nanosheets with exposed active (1 1 0) facets were facilely prepared through surface structure engineering by reassembling CuO nanoflowers in H 2 O 2 aqueous solution. The CO oxidation activity on these CuO nanosheets was markedly higher than that on the pristine nanoflowers, for which the 100 % CO conversion temperature on the former was 40 °C lower than that on the latter and equal to that on a commercial catalyst (1 %Pd/γ‐Al 2 O 3 ). This work provides a new strategy to design and prepare high‐performance nanostructured CuO catalysts.
