For the first time, oxidation behavior of (U1-yCey)O2.00; (y = 0.21, 0.28 and 0.44) was examined under various oxygen potentials ranging from 0 to −58 kJ/mol. Thermogravimetry (TG) and powder X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were used as prime techniques for determination of oxygen stoichiometry and i...
