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]
