Highlights: [•] The incorporation of neptunium (Np) and plutonium (Pu) in thorutite (ThTi2O6) has been studied. [•] The effect of Np/Pu doping on the unit cell parameter changes has been discussed from the structure point of view. [•] The effect of Y as charge compensator to encourage the formation of higher valences of Np and Pu has been explored. [•] The resulting Np/Pu doped thorutite samples have been characterised by using XRD, SEM and DRS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
