Abstract
Nanocrystalline Co2P Ni2P, and Cu3P were successfully prepared through a si mple solvothermal process based on the direct reactions of metal halides wi th yellow phosphorus at rather mild temperatures (80-140 degrees C) with et hylenediamine used as the solvent, XRD, XPS, and TEM were used to study the phases, compositions, and morphologies of the final products, A possible m echanism is proposed and the influential factors in the process are discuss ed in detail.
