Goodfellow provides light-tight platinum foil with a maximum purity of 99.999% (5N). This specialized form combines platinum's excellent catalytic properties and resistance to chemical attack with light-blocking capabilities. It's particularly valuable in applications requiring both high performance in harsh environments and protection from light interference, such as in advanced fuel cell technologies and sensitive chemical sensors. In scientific research, it's crucial for electrochemistry studies and in the development of next-generation catalysts. The foil's high purity ensures minimal contamination in sensitive measurements, making it ideal for use in studying surface reactions and developing novel materials for energy conversion. Its potential in advancing clean energy technologies and in specialized medical applications underscores its significance in cutting-edge research and industrial innovation.
