The influence of solid precursors nature on structural, textural and surface properties of framework zirconium phosphates synthesized via mechanochemical activation
The framework zirconium phosphates with incorporated La3+ and NH4+ cations were synthesized via mechanical activation of solids followed by the hydrothermal treatment. Their phase composition. local bulk structure. surface properties and microstructure appear to be defined both by the structure of amorphous zirconium phosphates formed via mechanical activation of solids depending on precursors acidity and reactivity and by the pH-dependent mechanism of subsequent crystallization during hydrothermal treatment.
