Abstract: The kinetics of the accumulation of molecular hydrogen during the radiolysis of hexane and a hexane–water mixture is studied at different concentrations of the components in the presence of ZrO2 nanoparticles (n-ZrO2) at T = 300 K. It is found that n-ZrO2 displays radiation catalytic activity in the decomposition of hexane and a hexane–water mixture, as a result of which the rate of accumulation of molecular hydrogen increases. It is established that the radiation chemical yield of molecular hydrogen G(H2) grows sharply along with temperature.
