A novel layered nanocomposite was fabricated by the self‐assembly of TiNbO 5 ‐nanosheets and 5,10,15,20‐tetrakis( N ‐methylpyridinium‐4‐yl)porphyrinatocobalt(III) (CoTMPyP). The product was characterized by a variety of analytical techniques such as XRD, EDX, Zeta potential, AFM, UV‐vis, IR and SEM, the guest species were intercalated into the interlayer gallery of KTiNbO 5 successfully. The electrochemical property of TiNbO 5 ‐CoTMPyP as an electrode modifying material was examined by cyclic voltammetry test in PBS solution (pH=7), and the hybrid exhibited excellent electrocatalytical property towards oxygen reduction with the peak potential shifting from −0.703 V (bare GCE) to −0.278 V (modified electrode). The result also indicated that the oxygen molecule was reduced to H 2 O 2 by a two‐electron process.
