Study on the synthesis of nanometer Nickel phosphide

Abstract Indeed, many dyes exhibit high water solubility and biochemical stability, making them significant water pollutants. Addressing this issue requires the development of more efficient catalysts. In recent years, Nickel phosphide has been widely used as a novel catalyst for desulfurization, Nitro compound hydrogenation, heavy metal adsorption, and dye degradation. [1-2] Compared with the traditional hydrogen catalyst, nano-Nickel phosphide has higher catalytic efficiency, more stable chemical performance, excellent corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. The electrochemical test shows that Ni 12 P 5 has stronger hydrogen evolution activity in a crystalline state than in an amorphous state. X-ray diffraction, X-ray transmission electron microscope, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) show that there are double bonds of Nickel and phosphorus in the crystals. The Ni-P has the same charged properties as the Ni-fe hydrogenase and low energy consumption in hydrogen production. In order to study the specific data of high catalytic efficiency of Nickel phosphide, Nickel phosphide was prepared by hydrothermal solvent method.
