Description
Summary:In this paper, uranium targets are prepared by electro-deposition. Hydrated uranium dioxide films are electrodeposited into stainless steel plates using uranyl nitrate in ammonium oxalate solution. The results show that the deposition efficiency of the uranium depends on many parameters, such as pH value, supporting electrolyte, current density, and cell design. The uranium films were characterized by infrared spectrum, scanning electron microscope, and X-ray spectrum. The uranium films, with a yield of 98%, are in the thickness of about 6 mg·cm^-2.
