Catalytic Decomposition of Hydrazine on Germanium

Hydrazine Germanium Catalytic decomposition

Authors

The decomposition of hydrazine vapors on the surface of single-crystalline germanium at 650oC is studied. This catalytic reaction proceeds according to the scheme 3N2H4→4NH3+N2. Ammonia corresponds to an equimolar amount of chemisorbed hydrazine (nN2H4(g)→nNH3(g)+(NH)n(ads) )..
