Abstract

The decomposition of N2H4 has been studied on polycrystalline Ir. It was found that hydrazine decomposition is very fast compared with other previously reported unimolecular reactions [3, 4]. Three products were detected, namely N2, H2 and NH3. NH3 formation rates were equal to those of N2 formation up to about 700–800 K, depending on the pressure, but rapidly decreased above that temperature, while those of N2 formation became flux-limited at high temperatures.
