A series of metal phosphides were prepared by temperature programmed reduction and characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), 31 P magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance ( 31 P MAS NMR), ammonia temperature programmed desorption (NH 3 ‐TPD) and pyridine infrared spectroscopy (Py‐IR), their catalytic performance were investigated in the hydrodeoxygenation of furfural to form 2‐methylfuran. The effects of metal phosphide and the initial P/Ni molar ratios on the hydrodeoxygenation of furfural were studied, and the reaction conditions were optimized. Furfural was thoroughly converted when the reaction was carried out under 240 °C and 2.0 MPa for 4 h over MoP or Ni 2 P, and the selectivity of 2‐methylfuran was achieved 83.1% when the Ni 2 P_0.5 was employed as a catalyst. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the Ni 2 P_0.5 catalyst could be used for six times with slightly decrease in catalytic performance.
