Ionic Liquids as templating agents in formation of uranium-containing nanomaterials

Patent · 10 June 2014

OSTI ID:1133952

Visser, Ann E; Bridges, Nicholas J

A method for forming nanoparticles containing uranium oxide is described. The method includes combining a uranium-containing feedstock with an ionic liquid to form a mixture and holding the mixture at an elevated temperature for a period of time to form the product nanoparticles. The method can be carried out at low temperatures, for instance less than about 300.degree. C.
