Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:48.47(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We focused on the direct synthesis of (U, )O solid solution (=Th, Np) by extending our recent progress in hydrothermal synthesis with additives. The homogeneity of the (U, )O ( = Th, Np) systems prepared by supercritical hydrothermal reactions was investigated through crystallographic analysis based on Vegard's law, and the Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement of (U, Np, Na)O solid solutions. Our experimental and analytical results revealed that (i) an optimal additive is ammonium carbonate and starting uranium valence is IV in the case of (U, Th)O, and (ii) an optimal additive is ethanol and starting uranium valence is VI in the case of (U, Np)O, for producing the homogeneous solid solutions by hydrothermal synthesis.

Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:62.42(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)The hydrothermal synthesis of pure uranium dioxide under supercritical water (SCW) conditions was investigated. The nonstoichiometry, crystallite size and morphology of the UO particles were investigated. The SCW hydrothermal synthesis may be a promising method for producing homogeneous UO and its solid solutions with well-defined nonstoichiometries (), shapes, and sizes.
