[Display omitted] •Charcoal is produced from Lead tree wood in Iwasaki kiln (IW) and tube furnace (TF).•Activated carbon (AC) from both charcoals are used as supports for nickel phosphides.•AC_IW has higher C/O ratio than AC_TF.•Nickel phosphides disperse on external surface and macropores of AC_IW....
