Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

Hafnium phosphide (HfP) is a binary inorganic compound of hafnium metal and phosphorus.

Preparation

It can be obtained by heating together hafnium powder and red phosphorus in sealed quartz tube under vacuum at high temperatures. [4]

Uses

The compound is a semiconductor used in high power, high frequency applications and in laser diodes. [5]

Silica-supported hafinum phosphide (HfP/SiO2) was used as a solid acid catalyst to drive furfural production from xylan. [6] [7]
