Metal phosphide nanoparticles prepared by temperature-programmed reduction are promising hydrodesulfurization catalysts; however, the polydispersity of the samples precludes a detailed understanding of the nature of the active site. Formation of nearly-monodisperse model catalysts, Ni_2-xCo_xP, by arrested-precipitation reactions is reported, and the effect of composition (x) on activity will be discussed.
