Abstract
Nickel phosphide (Ni2P) nanoparticles (NPs) with different sizes were synthesized via thermal decomposition of bis(triphenylphosphine)nickel dichloride precursor in the presence of oleylamine. The size of the as-synthesized Ni2P \NPs\ could easily be controlled by increasing the reaction temperature from 300 to 340
