play significant roles in the reducibility of Cu 2 P 2 O 7 to form Cu 3 P, which consequently
affects the selectivity of oleic acid deoxygenation. The formation of supported Cu 3 P
nanoparticles during hydrogen reduction of Cu 2 P 2 O 7 was carefully investigated by in situ
X-ray diffraction (in situ XRD), and in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (in situ XAS). The
results indicate that the transformation of Cu 2 P 2 O 7 to Cu 3 P occurs through several …
