β-Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is a widely studied calcium phosphate phase due to its well-defined crystal structure and its ability to accommodate ionic substitution within the lattice. In this work, β-TCP powders were synthesized via a controlled precipitation route, followed by partial substitution of Ca²⁺ with Zn²⁺ to examine the influence of Zn incorporation on phase formation and structural evolution. The formation of the β-TCP phase and the absence of detectable secondary phases were verified using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal analysis. The results show that Zn²⁺ substitution induces measurable changes in the diffraction features consistent with lattice modification and is accompanied by increased crystallinity and improved microstructural uniformity. Overall, the findings demonstrate that controlled Zn²⁺ incorporation provides an effective approach for tuning the structural and physicochemical characteristics of β-TCP powders.
