Not so nice

Science News,  Nov 24, 2007  by Carl F. Guerci, Jr.

"Platinumfree fuel cell" (SN: 10/20/07, p. 253) describes hydrazine hydrate as a benign and cost-effective alternative fuel to hydrogen. But hydrazine hydrate is a fuming liquid that is toxic, very corrosive, and can decompose explosively. In a reaction with hydrogen peroxide, it powered the German V-2 rockets in World War II.
