Electrodeposition of metals from non-aqueous solutions

“…The deposit of lanthanum was contaminated by conducting salt cations (Li). The experimental results demonstrated that uranium could be electrochemically prepared in the organic medium at room temperature [22]. The electrochemical behavior of titanium and Ti 4+ compounds was examined in THF solutions.…”

Electrodeposition of uranium in dimethyl sulfoxide and its inhibition by acetylacetone as studied by EQCM

“…For the U 4+ ion in the DMSO, the U(IV)/U(III) reaction and an electrodeposition reaction U(III) → U(0) were claimed to be attributed to a cathodic wave at −0.93 and −1.69 V versus Fc/Fc + , respectively [10]. The deposition of the uranium was also reported in N,N-dimethylformamide at −2 V versus Pt pseudo-reference electrode [11]. However, the potential condition at which the uranium electrodeposition proceeds in aprotic organic solutions has not been clarified at present.…”

Synthetic diversity in the preparation of metallic uranium

“…In the aim to prepare uranium metal, Martinot et al . [ 87 – 89 ] investigated the electrochemistry of uranium in various organic media. The preparation of uranium metal by electrochemical reduction of U(III) was initially investigated in dimethylformamide (DMF) and in γ-butyrolactone/tetrahydrofuran (γ-BL/THF).…”

“…The preparation of uranium metal by electrochemical reduction of U(III) was initially investigated in dimethylformamide (DMF) and in γ-butyrolactone/tetrahydrofuran (γ-BL/THF). In those experiments, UCl 3 , was used as the precursor [ 87 ].…”
