Triacylphosphines as a Novel Class of Phosphorus Sources for the Synthesis of Transition Metal Phosphide Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Transition metal phosphide (TMP) nanoparticles (NPs) are versatile materials for energy conversion/storage applications due to their robustness and many possibilities to tailor NPs' electronic, physical, and chemical properties. One of the hurdles toward their broader implementation is their challenging synthesis exacerbated by the limited choice of phosphorus precursors. On the one hand, the synthesis of TMP NPs can employ various alkyl- or arylphosphines requiring prolonged heating at high temperatures, while on the other hand, highly reactive P(SiMe₃)₃, white phosphorus, or PH₃ pose additional obstacles associated with their hazardous nature, high cost, and limited availability. This work introduces the use of acylphosphines as a new class of phosphorus
