Title: Less toxic substitute for Hydrazine?
Post by: charles_west on November 22, 2021, 09:35:39 AM
Hello!

I found a really cool paper which describes how to make a low density carbon foam with a fairly simple process.  I would like to look into producing the material but it uses Hydrazine to simultaneously reduce the material and produce the gas for the foam.

If I may ask, do you know of anything that is less toxic than hydrazine hydrate that could fulfill this role?  I'm pretty nervous about working with hydrazine.
