Nikkelifosfori
Nikkelifosfori is a family of nickel–phosphide compounds formed from nickel and phosphorus. The most studied phase is nickel phosphide Ni2P, but the system also includes other stoichiometries such as Ni5P4 and Ni12P5. These materials are noted for their catalytic properties and relative stability under catalytic conditions.
Ni2P and related phosphides are metallic, with high electrical conductivity. They occur as intermetallic solids and
Synthesis methods include phosphidation of nickel precursors (such as nickel oxides or nickel salts) using phosphorus
Applications of nickel phosphides center on catalysis. Ni2P and related phosphides serve as active catalysts for
Safety: Nickel compounds can cause allergic reactions and other health effects; phosphorus-containing materials can be toxic,
