Supported metal nanoparticles have been widely used as heterogeneous catalysts. Here, the authors report the synthesis of (1.1.1) copper on few layer graphene which oxidize to orientated (2.0.0) copper(I) oxide nanoplatelets which display high catalytic activity for a number of organic coupling reactions.
