The ability to prepare well dispersed, high surface area electrocatalysts containing platinum has significantly increased the viability of many electrochemical processes. This new process provides an outstanding, high purity catalyst that is amenable to forming highly uniform electrode structures.
Suggested Uses
20% Platinum on Vulcan XC 72 (Carbon) is most commonly used for Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEMFC), Microbial Fuel Cell, and Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cell applications (as the cathode catalyst or anode catalyst). It is also used as a recombination catalyst for hydrogen elimination. Platinum on Vulcan XC 72 can also be used as a building block for sensor elements.
