Crystal-structure-controllable Ni-P compounds were synthesized using nickel chloride, nontoxic red phosphorus and polyethylene glycol. The hexagonal Ni2P and tetragonal Ni12P5 could be freely transformed via adjusting the amount of polyethylene glycol, and the mechanism of phase transformation was discussed. The catalytic performances of Ni-P compounds were promoted markedly with moderate quantity of PEG. However, excessive PEG will cover the active sites of catalysts and decrease the catalytic activity.
