THE REACTION OF NITROGEN WITH LITHIUM AT ORDINARY TEMPERATURE AND THE ROLE OF WATER VAPOR IN THIS REACTION (in French)

Journal Article · · Compt. rend.
OSTI ID:4278832
The black layer which is formed in air on lithium is not the nitride, but the hydroxide caused by atmospheric humidity. At room temperature, dry nitrogen has no effect. The fixation of nitrogen is produced if the metal is, or has been, in contact for a sufficient time with water vapor, even after a second melting in vacuum. The fixation is delayed or stopped by too thick a layer of hydroxide. (tr-auth)
