Title: Metal phosphide catalysts and methods for making the same and uses thereof

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1568591
; ; ; ;

The present disclosure relates to a method that includes heating a mixture that includes a metal phenylphosphine-containing precursor that includes at least one of Mo(PPh3)2(CO)4, Pd(PPh3)4, Ru(PPh3)3Cl2, Ru(PPh3)2(CO)2Cl2, Co(PPh3)(CO)2(NO), and/or Rh(PPh3)2(CO)Cl, a surfactant, and a solvent. The heating is to a target temperature to form a heated mixture containing a metal phosphide nanoparticle that includes at least one of MoP, Ru2P, Co2P, Rh2P, and/or Pd3P, and the metal phosphide nanoparticle is not hollow.
