Thermal decomposition of neptunyl ammonium nitrate: mechanistic insights and structural characterization of the Np<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> intermediate phase
Exploration of a novel method of neptunium dioxide synthesis identified that thermal decomposition of neptunyl ammonium nitrate produces neptunium pentoxide, followed by neptunium dioxide.
