Abstract A series of Ni3P and C@Ni3P catalyst were prepared by temperature programmed reduction method and characterized by XRD, TEM, N2 adsorption–desorption, H2-chemisorption, FT-IR, XPS and thermogravimetric analysis. Their catalytic performance in the hydrogenation of furfurnal was investigated. The 97% furfural conversion and 96.3% furfuryl alcohol selectivity were obtained over C@Ni3P-1 catalyst at 160?°C and 1.4?MPa H2 for 4?h. Furthermore, C@Ni3P-1 catalyst showed a high stability in reusing experiments and the satisfactory hydrogenation performance for other substrates.Graphic Abstract
