Geopolymers, in their alkaline-based form, are now known since many years and are the subject of numerous studies due to their relative low cost and good mechanical performances. 1 They usually result from the dissolution of an aluminosilicate source in an alkaline silicate solution, 2 leading to the formation of a tridimensional network combining SiO 4 and AlO 4 tetrahedra. However, recently, acid-based geopolymers are gaining an increasing interest from the scientific community. These materials are related to the phosphate cements, which have been studied for a longer time. 3 Although this subject is quite recent, several studies, especially using phosphoric acid, have indeed been carried out considering various aluminosilicate sources and different Si/Al, Al/P or Si/P ratios. [4][5][6] These materials exhibit remarkable mechanical properties 4 and a high temperature resistance up to 1450°C. 7 Moreover, a previous study 8 has stated that their properties (thermal and water resistance) are governed by their composition and synthesis temperature 9,10 and can be closely related to the existence of different amorphous oxide networks in the material.The synthesis of these acid-based geopolymers starts with the dissolution of an aluminosilicate source in an acidic medium, the most common one being phosphoric acid. 11 A recent study showed that the subsequent release of Al 3+ and its
