Formula: Pt
Form: Rod
Material: Platinum
CAS Number: 7440-06-4
Commodity: Precious Metals
Platinum rods are widely used in laboratory and industrial applications due to their excellent conductivity, high melting point (1,768°C), and resistance to oxidation. These properties make them ideal for electrochemical experiments and high-temperature reactions. Platinum rods are commonly employed in catalytic studies, including hydrogenation and fuel cell research. Their stable performance under extreme conditions also supports precise temperature control in applications requiring thermocouple calibration and molten metals. Due to their inert nature, platinum rods serve as electrodes in electrochemical cells, ensuring long-term reliability and reproducibility. These characteristics make platinum rods essential for advancing electrochemistry, materials science, and high-temperature applications.
