摘要

The effects of different doping amounts of BaO on the structure and oxidation behavior of UO2 were investigated by a series of methods. The results indicated that the solid solutions (U1-yBay)O2-y was formed after sintering. With the increase of y value, the lattice parameters of (U1-yBay)O2-y and oxygen vacancies increased, OOT and MRT gradually rose and O/(U + M)final decreased. The oxidation products were characterized by XRD, SEM and XPS. As y value increased, the average valence state of uranium decreased, the oxidation became incomplete and the average activation energy of (U1-yBay)O2-y increased from 89.50 to 125.15 kJ/mol.
