“…Amorphous, microcrystalline and nanocrystalline materials were obtained in different conditions. Amorphous gel materials were generally obtained by reaction between phosphoric acid and zirconyl chloride in water, without using any complexing agent for Zr(IV) [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 40 ], while post treatments of amorphous ZrP produced powders, granules and thin films [ 41 , 42 ]. Sol–gel and template methods were also developed in order to produce ZrP materials with different morphologies and porosity [ 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ].…”
