Fig. 1: The general strategy for secondary metal ion-induced electrochemical U(VI) reduction to U(IV) solid products developed in our study.
From: Secondary metal ion-induced electrochemical reduction of U(VI) to U(IV) solids
a Schematic illustration of previously reported electrochemical approaches for uranium extraction from aqueous solution under ambient conditions (no U(IV) products were obtained). b Schematic illustration of our strategy for the generation of U(IV) products in the presence of various secondary metal ions (products formed include UO2 and U(IV) bimetallic metal oxides). c Summary of the secondary metals evaluated in this work for the electrocatalytic transformation of aqueous U(VI) to U(IV) solid products.
