Atomic level insight into irradiation effects in nuclear fuel materials
Microstructural evolution during in-pile irradiation, radiation damage effects and fission products behavior in UO2 nuclear fuel are key issues in understanding and for the modeling of the performance as well as safety characteristics of nuclear fuels in t ...
EPFL2024Multi-electron Transfer by U(II) and Masked U(II) Complexes
Complexes of uranium in low oxidation state have shown the ability to activate non-reactive small molecules such as N-2. However, the multi-electron transfer required for such activation remains limited in uranium chemistry. Here, we review our recent rese ...
SWISS CHEMICAL SOC2022Systematic investigations of uranium carbide composites oxidation from micro- to nano-scale: Application to waste disposal
The production of radioisotope beams at the ISOLDE (Isotope Separator OnLine DEvice) facility at CERN is achieved by irradiating target materials (e.g. uranium carbides and metal foils) with protons. The materials are usually operated at temperatures above ...
EPFL2021Design, synthesis, reactivity, and magnetic properties of uranium based oxide and nitride complexes
The activation of small molecules is a paramount challenge in modern chemistry. The use of cheap and abundant molecules such as N2, H2, CO2, or CO as energy supplies or as precursors for fine chemicals production is highly desirable. In particular, the onl ...
EPFL2021Preliminary design and analysis of Liquid Fuel Molten Salt Reactor using multi-physics code GeN-Foam
In this study, a hypothetical fast spectrum Liquid Fuel Molten Salt Reactor (LFMSR) core is modeled using the multiphysics C++ code GeN-Foam (General Nuclear Foam). GeN-Foam is based on OpenFOAM, a C++ opensource library for solution of continuum mechanics ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2020Hydrogenation of ZnFe2O4 Flat Films: Effects of the Pre-Annealing Temperature on the Photoanodes Efficiency for Water Oxidation
Kevin Sivula, Charles Roger Jean Lhermitte, Annalisa Polo
The effects induced by post-synthesis hydrogenation on ZnFe2O4 flat films in terms of photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of photoanodes for water oxidation have been deeply investigated as a function of the pre-annealing temperature of the materials. T ...
