Zirconium phosphate (zirconium hydrogen phosphate) is acidic, inorganic cation exchange materials that have a layered structure with formula zr(hpo4)2.H2o. Zirconium phosphate has high thermal and chemical stability, solid state ion conductivity, resistance to ionizing radiation, and the capacity to incorporate different types of molecules with different sizes between their layers.It has extensive applications such as drug delivery catalysis, nanocomposite, nuclear waste management, clinical dialyzer, among others.
