Hafnium phosphide (HfP) is a binary inorganic compound of hafnium metal and phosphorus.
It can be obtained by heating together hafnium powder and red phosphorus in sealed quartz tube under vacuum at high temperatures. [4]
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]
