AB  - A new heterogeneous catalytic composite composed of nonstoichiometric Cu2-xSe 
      nanoparticles (NPs) with high copper deficiency and graphene oxide (GO) is 
      prepared by coembedding in electrospun nanofibers of a poly(vinylpyrrolidone) 
      (PVP) support, wherein GO in the nanofibers is converted into reduced GO (rGO) 
      via heat treatment. The as-prepared composite Cu2-xSe/rGO/PVP nanofibers have 
      demonstrated superior catalytic activity toward the reduction of a refractory 
      organic compound by taking 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) as an example. In the presence of 
      NaBH4, the Cu2-xSe/rGO/PVP nanofibers display a synergetic effect between Cu2-xSe 
      and rGO in PVP nanofibers compared to their independent components or 
      corresponding nanofibers. Furthermore, the Cu2-xSe/rGO/PVP nanofibers exhibit a 
      favorable water-stable property via heat treatment to solidify the hydrophilic 
      PVP matrix, which makes the composite display good reusability, stability in 
      aqueous solution, and separability from a water medium. This work not only 
      presents a direct, convenient, and effective approach to doping semiconductor 
      nanomaterials into polymer nanofibers but also provides fundamental routes for 
      further investigations about the synergetic effect between different materials 
      based on the platform of electrospun nanofibers.
