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 hafnium phosphide (HfP/SiO₂) was used as a solid acid catalyst to drive furfural production from xylan. ^{[6] [7]}
