In general, half-life is fixed, and is not affected by anything. However, certain decay processes depend on electron capture, such as beta+. In this case, if the electron is not available for capture, the decay can be inhibited. In heavily ionized elements, such as during high electric fields or high temperatures, electrons can be stripped, affecting electron capture.
