Biomass conversion over a nickel phosphide catalyst is explored for the first time. Through both acid and metallic sites on the Ni2P catalyst surface, cellulose is selectively transformed into sorbitol in yields as high as 48.4 % and at sorbitol/mannitol ratios as high as 10:1. The results are superior to results achieved by using precious-metal catalysts, which can be attributed to the efficient “cooperation” between the two types of active sites.
