1. A lithium ion-exchanged zeolite particle comprising:

cages defined by 8-membered rings, 9-membered rings, 10-membered rings, 12-membered rings or a combination thereof, wherein Li₃PO₄is present within the cages; and

Li⁺ and NH₄_⁺ cations; and

wherein the lithium ion-exchanged zeolite particle comprises (i) less than or equal to about 0.1 at % of one or more of Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²^₊, or Ca⁺; and (ii) NH₄_⁺ in an amount greater than an amount of the one or more of Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²^₊, or Ca⁺.
