a Crystal structure of α-Zr2SP2O12 (space group: \(R{\overline{3}}c\)). P and S atoms occupy the same coordinates. b Relationship between the heating temperature after the hydrothermal treatment of co-precipitates and the 2S/Zr atomic ratio of the obtained products estimated by ICP-OES. c PXRD patterns of the obtained powders measured at 303 K. d Lattice constants of the obtained powders computed by Rietveld analysis using the RIETAN-FP program.
