Abstract
) as secondary metal cations to synthesise these novel dual-cation materials, this work highlights the potential for broadening the scope of viable synthetic UOH phases towards furthering the understanding of these systems in their roles as alteration products in the surrounds of spent nuclear fuel in deep geological repositories.
