LaNiO 3 -Perovskite-type oxides, as a novel hydrolytic catalyst, were synthesized using a sol-gel-calcination method, and were characterized by employing x-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). It was revealed that LaNiO 3 and 2% g-C 3 N 4 /LaNiO 3 -Perovskite-type oxides are nanoparticles about 12 nm and 10nm easily agglomerated in large amounts, and the specific surface area of LaNiO 3 is 21.277 m 2 /g and 2% g-C 3 N 4 /LaNiO 3 is 26.645 m 2 /g, respectively. The results also indicate that there are irregular microporoes in the material. In the catalytic activity test, the absorption spectra were collected when hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl picolinate (PNPP) (C PNPP =1-5×10 -5 mol/L) was catalyzed by LaNiO 3 (0.5g/L) and 2% g-C 3 N 4 /LaNiO 3 (0.5g/L) in buffer solution at different pH values (6.5-7.8), respectively. Based on the absorption spectrum data, the pseudo first-order rate constant is estimated to be 0.59min -1 and 1.14min -1 , respectively. In addition, the proposed kinetics model of this reaction was confirmed by the results of the spectrum and the calculations.
