Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed non-precious metal phosphide nanoparticle catalysts. In contrast to the conventional single non-precious metal nanoparticles that are pyrophoric or require pretreatment with hydrogen at high temperatures, the metal phosphide nanoparticle are found to be air-stable and exhibit high catalytic performance in various hydrogenation reactions. Furthermore, the developed metal phosphide nanoparticle catalysts were found to be reusable, demonstrating practical utility. These results show that metal phosphide nanoparticles are a promising group of catalysts which outperform conventional catalysts in a wide range of molecular transformations in the liquid phase.
