This contribution is both a review of different aspects of X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy
that can help one determine U oxidation states and a personal perspective on how to …

Uranium redox states and speciation in magnetite nanoparticles coprecipitated with U (VI)
for uranium loadings varying from 1000 to 10 000 ppm are investigated by X-ray absorption …

Pu L3 X-ray near edge absorption spectra for Pu (0− VII) are reported for more than 60
chalcogenides, chlorides, hydrates, hydroxides, nitrates, carbonates, oxy-hydroxides, and …

Analysis of X-ray absorption fine structure spectra of UO2+ x for x= 0− 0.20 (UO2− U4O9)
reveals that the adventitious O atoms are incorporated as oxo groups with U− O distances of …

Uranium in natural systems exists in two oxidation states: tetravalent and hexavalent. The
aqueous chemistry and geologic and environmental transport of U is dominated by U 6+ …

Electrochemical and complexation properties of neptunium (Np) are investigated in aqueous
perchlorate and nitrate solutions by means of cyclic voltammetry, bulk electrolysis, UV …

X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been used to study the reduction of adsorbed U (VI)
during the Fe (II)-accelerated transformation of ferrihydrite to goethite. The fate of U (VI) was …

U (VI) doped hematite was synthesized and exposed to two different organic reductants with
E 0 of 0.23 and 0.70 V. A combination of HAADF-TEM and EXAFS provided evidence that …

Here, we have demonstrated an innovative decontamination strategy using molten salts as a
solvent to clean stubborn uranium contaminants on stainless steel surfaces. The aim of this …

An extensive investigation of oxidation in uranium has been pursued. This includes the
utilization of soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy, hard x-ray absorption near-edge structure …
