This work presents a detailed study of hyperstoichiometric UO2+x (0 < x < 0.25) oxides and an assessment of the structural evolution taking place as oxidation proceeds. For this purpose, different UO2+x powder samples with controlled degree of non-stoichiometry have been identified by thermogravimetric analysis and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. XRD analysis reflects that the commonly assumed Vegard's law is not applicable over the whole hyperstoichiometry range, since a slight increase of the lattice constant is observed for 0.13 < x < 0.20. A quantitative Raman analysis of the UO2+x spectra as a function of the oxidation degree is also shown. A new method to characterize any UO2+x sample (for x < 0.20), based on the shift of the 630 cm−1 band observed in the Raman spectrum, is proposed here for the first time. Moreover, three structure transitions have been detected at x = 0.05, 0.11 and 0.20, giving rise to four distinct regions associated with consecutive structural rearrangements over the hyperstoichiometry range: x < 0.05, 0.05 < x < 0.11, 0.11 < x < 0.20 and 0.20 < x < 0.25.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
