Quantum mechanical study of the influence of noble metals on the process of reduction of uranium oxides by A.S. Vorob'ev, A.Y. Galashev, Yu P. Zaikov

“…The noble metals that make up uranium oxides, to varying degrees, bring the reduced material to the stage of direct reduction, i.e. obtaining metallic uranium without the chemical reaction of binding oxygen with a light metal. Silver and gold initiate the process of direct reduction of uranium oxides more efficiently than platinum and palladium. …”
