Abstract
Transition metal phosphides are promising, selective, and air-stable nanocatalysts for hydrogenation reactions. However, they often require fairly high temperatures and H2 pressures to provide quantitative conversions. This work reports the positive effect of phosphine additives on the activity of cobalt phosphide nano-urchins for the semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene. While the nanocatalyst's activity was low under mild conditions (7 bar of H2 , 100 °C), the addition of a catalytic amount of phosphine remarkably increased the conversion, e. g., from 13 % to 98 % in the case of Pn Bu3 . The heterogeneous nature of the catalyst was confirmed by negative supernatant activity tests. The catalyst integrity was carefully verified by post-mortem analyses (TEM, XPS, and liquid 31 P NMR). A stereo-electronic map was proposed to rationalize the activity enhancement provided over a selection of nine phosphines: the strongest effect was observed for low to moderately hindered phosphines, associated with strong electron donor abilities. A threshold in phosphine stoichiometry was revealed for the enhancement of activity to occur, which was related to the ratio of phosphine to surface cobalt atoms.

Abstract
Bimetallic nickel-cobalt nanoparticles are highly sought for their potential as catalytic and magnetic nanoparticles. These are typically prepared in organic solvents in the presence of strong stabilizing ligands such as tri-n-octylphosphine (TOP). Due to the variety of cobalt crystallographic phases and to the strong interaction of the ligands with the metallic surfaces, forming fcc nanoparticles rather than a phase mixture is a challenging endeavor. Here, using a two-step synthesis strategy that aims at a core-shell nickel-cobalt morphology, we demonstrated that many parameters have to be adjusted: concentration of the metal precursors, stoichiometry of TOP, and heating program from room temperature to 180 °C. We found optimized conditions to form size-controlled fcc NiCo nanoparticles from preformed Ni nanoparticles, and the phase attribution was confirmed with a combination of X-Ray diffraction on powder and X-Ray absorption spectroscopy at the Co K edge. We then investigated the early stages of Co nucleation on the nickel using a lower stoichiometry of Co, down to 0.05 equiv. vs. Ni. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy coupled to energy-dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy, we showed that cobalt reacts first on the nickel nanoparticles but easily forms cobalt-rich larger aggregates in the further steps of the reaction.

Abstract
Colloidal hybrid nanoparticles have generated considerable attention in the inorganic nanomaterials community. The combination of different materials within a single nanoparticle can lead to synergistic properties that can enable new properties, new applications, and the discovery of new phenomena. As such, methodologies for the synthesis of hybrid nanoparticles that integrate metal-metal, metal chalcogenide, metal oxide, and oxide-chalcogenide domains have been extensively reported in the literature. However, colloidal hybrid nanoparticles containing metal phosphide domains are rare, despite being attractive systems for their potentially unique catalytic, photocatalytic, and optoelectronic properties. In this Forum Article, we report a study of the synthesis of colloidal hybrid nanoparticles that couple the metal phosphides Ni2P and CoxPy with Au, Ag, PbS, and CdS using heterogeneous seeded-growth reactions. We also investigate the transformation of Au-Ni heterodimers to Au-Ni2P, where phosphidation of preformed metal-metal hybrid nanoparticles offers an alternative route to metal phosphide systems. We also study sequential cation-exchange reactions to target specific metal phosphide hybrids, i.e., the transformation of Ni2P-PbS into Ni2P-Ag2S and then Ni2P-CdS. Throughout all of these pathways, the accompanying discussion emphasizes the synthetic rationale, as well as the challenges in synthesis and characterization that are unique to these systems. In particular, the observation of oxide shells that surround the phosphide domains has implications for the potential photocatalytic applications of these hybrid nanoparticles.

Abstract
The design of nanoparticles (NPs) with tailored morphologies and finely tuned electronic and physical properties has become a key strategy for controlling selectivity and improving conversion efficiency in a variety of important electrocatalytic transformations. Transition metal phosphide NPs, in particular, have emerged as a versatile class of catalytic materials due to their multifunctional active sites and composition- and phase-dependent properties. Access to targeted transition metal phosphide NPs with controlled features is necessary to tune the catalytic activity. To this end, we have established a solution-synthesis route utilizing a molecular precursor containing M-P bonds to generate solid metal phosphide NPs with controlled stoichiometry and morphology. We expand here the application of molecular precursors in metal phosphide NP synthesis to include the preparation of phase-pure Cu3P NPs from the thermal decomposition of [Cu(H)(PPh3)]6. The mechanism of [Cu(H)(PPh3)]6 decomposition and subsequent formation of Cu3P was investigated through modification of the reaction parameters. Identification and optimization of the critical reaction parameters (i.e., time, temperature, and oleylamine concentration) enabled the synthesis of phase-pure 9-11 nm Cu3P NPs. To probe the multifunctionality of this materials system, Cu3P NPs were investigated as an electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction. At low overpotential (-0.30 V versus RHE) in 0.1 M KHCO3 electrolyte, Cu3P-modified carbon paper electrodes produced formate (HCOO-) at a maximum Faradaic efficiency of 8%.

Abstract
We report phase selective synthesis of intermetallic nickel silicide nanocrystals in inorganic molten salts. NiSi and Ni2Si nanocrystals are obtained by reacting a nickel(ii) salt and sodium silicide Na4Si4 in the molten LiI-KI inorganic eutectic salt mixture. We report that nickel silicide nanocrystals are precursors to active electrocatalysts in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and may be low-cost alternatives to iridium-based electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The substitution of catalytic metals by p-block main elements has a tremendous impact not only in the fundamentals but also in the economic and ecological fingerprint of organic reactions. Here we show that few-layer black phosphorous (FL-BP), a recently discovered and now readily available 2D material, catalyzes different radical additions to alkenes with an initial turnover frequency (TOF0) up to two orders of magnitude higher than representative state-of-the-art metal complex catalysts at room temperature. The corresponding electron-rich BP intercalation compound (BPIC) KP6 shows a nearly twice TOF0 increase with respect to FL-BP. This increase in catalytic activity respect to the neutral counterpart also occurs in other 2D materials (graphene vs. KC8) and metal complex catalysts (Fe0 vs. Fe2- carbon monoxide complexes). This reactive parallelism opens the door for cross-fertilization between 2D materials and metal catalysts in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Ternary metal tin phosphides are promising candidates for electrochemical or catalytic applications. Nevertheless, their synthesis, neither as bulk nor nanomaterials is well investigated in the literature. Here, we describe a general synthetic strategy to convert bimetallic M-Sn (M = Ni, Co, and Fe) nanoparticles to ternary metal phosphides by decomposition of tributylphosphine at 300 °C. At high phosphorus concentrations, Ni3Sn4 nanoparticles convert to hybrid structured Ni2SnP and β-Sn. The CoSn2 and FeSn2 nanoparticles undergo a phosphorization, too and form hybrid nanocrystals reported here for the first time, containing ternary or binary phosphides. We identified the crystal structure of the nanoparticles via XRD and HRTEM measurements using the diffraction data given for Ni2SnP in literature. We were able to locate the Ni2SnP and β-Sn crystal structure within the nanoparticles to demonstrate the phase composition of the nanoparticles. By transferring the synthesis to cobalt and iron, we obtained nanoparticles exhibiting similar hybrid structures and ternary element compositions for Co-Sn-P and binary Fe-P and FeSn2 compositions. In the last step, we used the given information to propose a conversion mechanism from the binary M-Sn nanoparticles through phosphorization.

Abstract
Fabrication of inorganic nanoparticles is now a mature field. However, further advances, in particular in the field of catalysis, require a more accurate description of their surface and of the transformations occurring beneath the surface in the environment of use. Through a selection of case studies, this feature article proposes a journey from surface science to nanoparticle design, while illustrating state-of-the-art spectroscopies that help provide a relevant description of inorganic nanoparticles in the context of surface reactivity.

Abstract
Metal phosphides have emerged as a new powerful class of materials that can be employed as heterogeneous catalysts in transformations mainly to generate new energy vectors and the valorization of renewables. Synthetic protocols based on wet techniques are available and are based on the decomposition of the organic layer decorating the nanoparticles. For nickel, the phosphine of choice is trioctylphosphine, and this leads to the formation of NiPx materials. However, the temperature at which the decomposition starts has been found to depend on the quality of the nickel surface. Density functional theory, DFT, holds the key to analyze the initial steps of the formation of these phosphide materials. We have found how clean nickel surfaces, either (111) or (100), readily breaks the ligand P-C bonds. This triggers the process that leads to the replacement of a surface nickel atom by P and concomintantly forms a Ni adatom on the surface surrounded by two methyl groups, thus starting the formation of the NiPx phase. The whole process requires low energies, in agreement with the low temperature found in the experiments, 150 °C. In contrast, if the surface is oxidized, the reaction does not proceed at low temperatures and oxygen vacancies need to be created first to start the P-C bond breaking on the Ni-clean patches. Our results show that the cleaner the surface is, the milder the reactions are required for the NiPx formation, and thus they pave the way for gentler synthetic protocols that can improve the control of these materials.
