The performances obtained are compared to those of the commercial catalyst Shell 405. Catalytic experiments are carried out in a 2 N microthruster. The CNF-based catalyst shows better activity performances than the commercial one due to its high external surface area and its high thermal conductivity. %8 Febr. %N 3-4 %T Performance comparison of Ir/CNF and Ir/Al2O3 catalysts in a 2 N hydrazine microthruster %K carbon nanofibres, catalytic support, hydrazine decomposition, microthruster, satellite propulsion. %@secondarytype PRE PI %@group LCP-INPE-MCT-BR %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %@issn 1011-372X %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Universite´ Louis Pasteur %B Catalysis Letters %P 177-180 %D 2005 %V 99 %A Vieira, Ricardo, %A Bernhardt, Pierre, %A Pham-Huu, Cuong, %A Ledoux, Marc-Jaques, %@area COMB
