NEUP CINR-22-26700: Using Amide-Functionalized Electrodes to Elucidate Interfacial Actinide Redox Chemistry for Improved HALEU Supply

The goal is to decrease HALEU fuel cycle costs by examination of the redox behavior of U, Np, and Pu at the water-organic interface using amide functionalized electrodes, and in organic media after extraction with amides. Experiments with redox active interferences including additional actinides in different oxidation states will also be conducted.
