Carbon-coated nickel phosphide with enriched surface Ni^δ+ sites enables an exceptionally high productivity of 2-methylfuran from biomass upgrading

Abstract

In this study, we successfully synthesized a carbon-coated nickel phosphide composited catalyst (Ni2P@C) through a strategy of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) -assisted pyrolysis and phosphidation of Ni-MOF. Thorough structural characterizations revealed that...
