Neodymium (Nd)- or yttrium (Y)- modified bulk Ni2P catalysts (Nd-Ni2P or Y-Ni2P) have been successfully prepared and their catalytic performance in benzofuran hydrodeoxygenation have been investigated. The as-prepared catalysts were characterised by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption, CO uptake and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The addition of Nd or Y, especially Nd, can increase the surface area of the catalysts and promote the formation of smaller and more highly dispersed Ni2P particles. The Nd-Ni2P catalyst showed the highest benzofuran hydrodeoxygenation activity of 95.3% and the O-free products yield of 74.6%, which gives an increase of 25.3% and 35.4% when compared with that found for Ni2P.

钕和钇对本体 Ni2P 催化剂上苯并呋喃加氢脱氧性能的影响

已经成功制备了钕 (Nd)- 或钇 (Y)- 改性的本体 Ni2P 催化剂（Nd-Ni2P 或 Y-Ni2P），并研究了它们在苯并呋喃加氢脱氧中的催化性能。所制备的催化剂通过 X 射线衍射、N2 吸附-解吸、CO 吸收和 X 射线光电子能谱进行表征。Nd或Y的加入，尤其是Nd的加入，可以增加催化剂的表面积，促进更小和更高度分散的Ni2P颗粒的形成。Nd-Ni2P 催化剂的苯并呋喃加氢脱氧活性最高，为 95.3%，无 O 产物产率为 74.6%，与 Ni2P 相比分别提高了 25.3% 和 35.4%。
