Neptunyl and Uranyl Peroxide Chemistry in Molten Salts, Uranyl Structures from Nature, and Thermodynamic Studies Extending into the Transuranium Elements (Final Report)
- University of Notre Dame, IN (United States); University of Notre Dame
This project was initially funded in 2007 and the current technical report is for 2019-2022. The specific objectives of this project (2019-2022) were: (1) Synthesis of actinide peroxide compounds in molten salt eutectics, (2) Studies of new uranyl minerals with fascinating structures and compositions, (3) Drop-solution calorimetric studies of actinide compounds extending into the transuranium elements, with an emphasis on the uranyl-sulfate system, (4) Continuation of studies of uranyl vanadate clusters synthesized using ionic liquids, (5) The training of Ph.D. graduate students in actinide chemistry, and to introduce undergraduate students to actinide research through providing research assistantships and supervision. The report lists 67 archival journal papers describing the work, of which 23 were since 2019. Highlights of the work are summarized for the period 2019-2022.
