Investigations on the Rupture of the N-N-Bond within the Anodic Oxidation and Catalytic Decomposition of Hydrazine

Mass spectrometrical measurements of the off gas composition formed in the anodic oxidation or catalytic decomposition of hydrazine at platinized platinum, Raneynickel and amalgamated sintered nickel as electrocatalysts show that only up to 4% of the oxidation of hydrazine occurs via N -N-bond splitting.
