Abstract

In-situ observation of the reaction between light weight hydride LiH and NH3 gas was performed by means of TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) with an environmental cell. This environmental cell was designed for the observation of the gas-solid reaction under 0 ∼ 0.2 MPa gas atmosphere at 20 ∼ 150 °C. It has been confirmed a volume expansion and generation of LiNH2, that is the reaction between LiH and NH3. Moreover, it was revealed that LiNH2 was generated at the surface of LiH particle at first process of the reactions.
