Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) from modern light water or thermal reactors containing uranium
oxide with small concentrations of plutonium and other actinide oxides is converted into …

Extraction of oxygen from lunar soil is key to the sustainability of human and robotic
operations on the Moon and would open the path to in-space refuelling with space …

Extensive research and process development has been conducted on the electrolytic
reduction of actinide oxides in molten LiCl-Li 2 O. It is now accepted that the reduction of …

Microplasma based on glow discharge could act as a non-contact gaseous electrode and
has attracted much attention in both fundamental research and application. Herein, with …

Platinum anodes are widely used for metal oxides reduction in LiCl–Li 2 O, however high-
cost and low-corrosion resistance hinder their implementation. NiO–Li 2 O ceramics is an …

The development of an oxygen-evolving inert anode is of crucial importance for the
electrolytic reduction process of nuclear oxide fuels using a LiCl-Li 2 O salt bath. Metal …

Electrochemical behavior of graphite in LiCl and LiCl melts containing up to 1 wt% Li 2 O
was studied by using cyclic voltammetry and electrolysis, in the context of its probable use …

Abstract Uranium-molybdenum (U-Mo) alloys especially the γ-U-Mo phase, with excellent
irradiation performance at high temperatures, have been extensively studied as low …

Conventionally, metallic vanadium is produced from vanadium pentoxide (V 2 O 5). Sodium
metavanadate (NaVO 3) is an essential intermediate product for the V 2 O 5 production. A …
