U3O7 is a mixed-valence uranium oxide ceramic belonging to the family of nonstoichiometric uranium oxides, positioned between UO2 and U3O8 in the uranium–oxygen phase diagram. This material is primarily of research and specialized nuclear fuel interest, studied for its thermal, structural, and electrochemical properties in advanced fuel cycles and accident-tolerant fuel concepts; it represents a transitional composition useful for understanding oxygen-deficient uranium oxide behavior rather than a conventional engineering ceramic for structural applications.
