摘要：

The corrosion resistance of uranium to hydrogen has been significantly enhanced by niobium addition while its mechanism remains unknown. To better understanding the underlying effect of niobium addition, behaviours of hydrogen in alpha-U, dilute U-Nb alloy and concentrated U-Nb alloy have been systematically explored by ab-initio calculations and experimental observations. Our findings suggest that Nb atoms play distinct roles in the dilute and concentrated single-phase U-Nb alloys, shifting from hydrogen traps to rapid hydrogen diffusion channels. Moreover, the dominant mechanisms enhancing hydrogen corrosion resistance differ between dilute and concentrated U-Nb alloys.
