α-Zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP) nanocrystals with different morphology and particle size were synthesized via three facile and mild methods, namely α-ZrP plates, α-ZrP nanoparticles-1 and α-ZrP nanoparticles-2. α-ZrP plates and α-ZrP nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N₂ sorption isotherms. The photocatalytic activity of α-ZrP plates and α-ZrP nanoparticles were explored by photodegradation of Rhodamine B under ultraviolet irradiation. 97% of Rhodamine B was degraded with α-ZrP nanoparticles-2 within 50 min, which is more efficient than α-ZrP plates and α-zirconium phosphate nanoparticles-1. All α-ZrP catalysts exhibited superior photocatalytic activity.

通过三种简便而温和的方法，即α-ZrP板，α-ZrP纳米粒子-1和α-ZrP纳米粒子-2，合成了形态和粒径不同的磷酸锆锆（α-ZrP）纳米晶体。通过X射线粉末衍射（XRD），扫描电子显微镜（SEM）和N ₂吸附等温线对α-ZrP板和α-ZrP纳米颗粒进行了表征。罗丹明B在紫外光下光降解研究了α-ZrP板和α-ZrP纳米粒子的光催化活性。97％的若丹明B在50分钟内被α-ZrP纳米颗粒2降解，这比α-ZrP平板和α-磷酸锆纳米颗粒-1更有效。所有的α-ZrP催化剂均表现出优异的光催化活性。
