Novel Nanosized Mixed γ-Zirconium - Titanium Phosphates

Novel nanosized γ-zirconium-titanium phosphates, γ-Zr x Ti (1-x). PO 4 .H 2 PO 4 .2H 2 O (γ-ZTP), where x= 0.95, 0.90, 0.86, 0.80, were prepared and characterized by chemical, x-ray diffraction(XRD), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) and Fourier transform spectroscopy (FT-IR). The resultant (γ-ZTP) found to be homogeneous solid solution forms. Their nanosized equal to 33.77, 40.64, 33.93 and 34.16 nm, respectively. Exchange capacities were determined and found to be in agreement with their formulation. These resultant γ-materials can be considered as new ion exchangers, solid acid catalysts, intercalates and as proton conductance.
