Oxygen potential measurements of Am$$_{0.5}$$Pu$$_{0.5}$$O$$_{2-x}$$ by EMF method

Otobe, Haruyoshi  ; Akabori, Mitsuo; Arai, Yasuo

The dependence of the oxygen potentials on oxygen non-stoichiometry and temperature of Am$$_{0.5}$$Pu$$_{0.5}$$O$$_{2-x}$$ has been elucidated by electromotive force (EMF) measurements. The ${it x}$ value of Am$$_{0.5}$$Pu$$_{0.5}$$O$$_{2-x}$$ was changed at 1333 K over 0.02 $$<$$ ${it x}$ $$leq$$ 0.25 by the coulomb titration method. The temperature dependence of the oxygen potential was also measured in the range of 1173-1333 K. It was found that the oxygen potential decreased from -80 to -360 kJmol$$^{-1}$$ with increasing ${it x}$ from 0.021 to 0.22 at 1333 K and that those remained almost constant at -360 kJmol$$^{-1}$$ around ${it x}$ = 0.23. It was concluded that Am$$_{0.5}$$Pu$$_{0.5}$$O$$_{2-x}$$ should be composed of the single fluorite-type phase over 0.02 $$<$$ ${it x}$ $$leq$$ 0.22 and the mixed phases of fluorite-type and (Am,Pu)$$_9$$O$$_{16}$$ around ${it x}$ = 0.23.
