Abstract

An iridium-on-alumina catalyst used for the spontaneous ignition of the decomposition of hydrazine in spacecraft position control thrusters exhibits nearly complete matching of the selected area electron diffraction patterns in the [110] orientation for iridium crystallites and for the support η-alumina. The orientation-relationship is referred to the porous character of the η-alumina skeleton favoring an oriented nucleation and growth of iridium crystallites in the pore mouths.
