Outside Front Cover: Sub‐2 Nm Palladium Phosphide: A Highly Active and Selective Catalyst for the Hydrogenation of Furfural to Furfuryl Alcohol (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 45/2025)
In their Research Article (e202515805), Ye Wang et al. reporte the controllable synthesis of ultrafine palladium phosphides (PdxPy, < 2 nm) via a defect-assisted anchoring strategy, using defective TiO2-supported Pd as the phosphidation precursor. This strategy enhances the atom utilization of Pd and modulates its geometric structure. The sub-2 nm PdxPy exhibits an exceptional selectivity of 97.5% and a TOF of 833.8 h−1 for selective hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol.
