Abstract

For the first time, it has been shown that the rate of the catalytic decomposition of ammonia over (C2B10H4) n organoboron nanoparticles can be controlled via generating an electric potential of different polarity and magnitude on the particles using an external voltage source. At a temperature of 700 K, a pressure of 10–6 Torr, and a positive potential of the particles of +6 V, the decomposition rate increases by 26%, while at a negative potential of–6 V, it decreases by 37% compared to the decomposition rate of ammonia at a zero potential of the particles.
