Images of a U metal anode and b Al-U alloy anode before and after electrolysis. Scale bar = 1 cm. Current versus time plots for three electrode potential using c U anode and d Al-U alloy anode in NaAlCl4 melt at 453 K. e U L3-edge XANES spectra of standards UCl4 and UCl3, and the U anode product of electrolysis at 3 V vs. Al (quenched suddenly to the solid state at room temperature without any other treatment). f XRD patterns of anode products after electrolysis of pure U at 3 V and the Al-U alloy at 1 V, 2 V and 3 V vs. Al; and standard pattern for UCl3.
