title: A remote valency control technique: catalytic reduction of uranium(VI) to uranium(IV) by external ultrasound irradiation.
abstract: We here report the enhancement of a sonochemical effect (chemical reaction induced by ultrasound irradiation) by a Pt black catalyst; the sonochemical reduction of the highly stable U(VI) was demonstrated using this catalytic reaction.
