“…In conclusion, zirconia phase composition clearly has a dramatic effect on the catalytic behavior of the final material; however, actually, the effect cannot be rationalized or clearly explained. Despite Tetragonal ZrO 2 is the most frequently used, and it is often considered as the best choice in terms of acid properties and oxygen vacancies compared to the monoclinic ZrO 2 , but the results are not univocal [1,2,[9][10][11][12][13][14]. On the other hand, amorphous zirconia, in spite of a non-crystalline nature, has a higher surface area, thus leading in several cases to a catalyst showing superior performances, as shown especially in some recent works [2,4,5,15,16].…”
