Effect of Crystallinity on the Intercalation of Monoamine in α-Zirconium Phosphate Layer Structure

Abstract

When the α-zirconium phosphate is of low crystallinity, guests are easy to intercalate into the entire gallery space, even at low intercalation ratio, and achieve a large interlayer distance. With increasing crystallinity, the intercalation turns out to be more difficult. A high degree of intercalation can only be achieved at a high intercalation ratio.
