▎ 摘  要

In this paper, two kinds of composites constructed by UO3 nanoflakes (which is UO3 center dot yNH(3)center dot xH(2)O, precisely) and different graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets (homemade GO, GO-h, and commercial GO, GO-c) were prepared via solution chemical reaction. The two kinds of GO share similar morphology and possess the same species of functional groups. Nevertheless, GO-h possesses higher oxidization degree and thus could adsorb more uranyl ions, and the corresponding composite shows a much more regular shape: UO3 nanoflakes and GO nanosheets cross each other, which would help overcome the disadvantage of graphene aggregation. As a result, homemade reduced graphene oxide (RGO-h) sheets inside the final UO2 pellets (named as UO2/GO-h) could construct a well-bulit thermally conductive network to enhance its thermal conductivity. However, similar RGO-c network cannot be observed in the UO2/GO-c pellest originated from GO-c. Therefore, only the thermal conductivity of UO2/GO-h pellet acquires a dramatic increase, 37.30% relative to UO2 pellet at 1200 degrees C, showing that UO2/GO-h possesses great potential for the development of novel UO2-based ATF fuels.
