Electrochemical reduction of UO2 in a LiCl-Li2O molten salt using a C anode was investigated. Possible reduction and oxidation reactions were characterized. UO2 was reduced to U metal but the reduction yield decreased after the repeated use of an electrolyte. CO32− formation and its decomposition to C caused the lowering of current efficiency. The problem of dissolved CO32− should be addressed for the application of C anodes for the metal production in a LiCl-Li2O molten salt.
