Although minor in abundance in Earth's crust (U, 2–4 ppm; Th, 10–15 ppm) and in seawater
(U, 0.003 ppm; Th, 0.0007 ppm), light actinides (Th, Pa, U, Np, Pu, Am, and Cm) are …

Reactions of the light actinide ions (Th to Cm) at the mineral− aqueous solution interface
have attracted much attention during recent years. Initially research was mainly driven by the …

This Review presents an overview of recent advances in aqueous actinide chemistry and
thermodynamics. It addresses actinides from thorium to curium and covers three main areas …

While polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have surged in popularity due to
their low environmental impact and high efficiency, their susceptibility to degradation by in …

Ultrafine 5 nm ceria isotropic nanoparticles were prepared using the rapid chemical
precipitation approach from cerium (III) nitrate and ammonium hydroxide aqueous solutions …

Since its inauguration in 2005, the INE-Beamline for actinide research at the synchrotron
source ANKA (KIT North Campus) provides dedicated instrumentation for x-ray …

Due to their redox reactivity, surface sorption characteristics, and ubiquity as corrosion
products or as minerals in natural sediments, iron (II)-bearing minerals control to a large …

N, N, N′, N'-tetramethyl diglycolamide (TMDGA), a methylated variant of the diglycolamide
extractants being proposed as curium holdback reagents in advanced used nuclear fuel …

The long-term safe disposal of radioactive waste corresponds to a challenging responsibility
of present societies. Within deep geological waste disposal concepts, host rocks correspond …

Abstract Tetravalent actinides, An (IV), are usually assumed to be little mobile in near-neutral
environmental waters because of their low solubility. However, there are certain …
