In this study, rhenium diboride (ReB 2 ) was obtained by mechanosynthesis at 640 minutes of milling. The obtained ReB 2 was stored at oxygen and moisture ambient environmental conditions to know the chemical stability. The results indicate that ReB 2 is totally decomposed at oxygen and moisture ambient environmental conditions. Furthermore, the X‐ray diffraction ( XRD ) analysis of ReB 2 samples after 26 months of storage shows that the final products of degradation are HR eO 4 (liquid), H 3 BO 3 , HBO 2 , and ReO 3 . Finally, a schematic diagram of the degradation sequence of ReB 2 at oxygen and moisture ambient environmental conditions is proposed and validated with a thermodynamic analysis.
