The mixed-metal oxide Ni/Fe₃O₄/TiO₂ with two metal–oxide interfaces to catalyze sequential chemical reactions was first applied in the decomposition of phosphine gas for yellow phosphorus (P₄) production. The catalyst was prepared with tunable Ni-Fe₃O₄ and Ni-TiO₂ interactions via annealing and subsequent reduction. Ni/Fe₃O₄/TiO₂ exhibited significantly effective activity and good stability in the PH₃ decomposition, which were achieved by modulating the metal–support interaction. The characterizations by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD), BET surface area measurement and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) were carried out. The enhancements of the Ni-Fe₃O₄ and Ni-TiO₂ dual interactions by annealing and reduction were verified and the mechanism of PH₃ decomposition over the modulated Ni/Fe₃O₄/TiO₂ catalyst was investigated. NiOOH as an active catalytic intermediate species is produced by the synergistic catalytical dual interfaces. The catalytic reaction pathways of PH₃ decomposition by the dual interfaces were firstly revealed. The results provide underlying insights in the way to promote the catalytic performance for synergistic catalysis in PH₃ decomposition.
