General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency. Find details here.

Pt/C is used as a catalyst in the oxidation of glucose and gluconic acid. Catalyst deactivation occurs via oxygen chemisorption and platinum surface oxidation.[1]

Application

Catalyst used for the hydrogenation of alkenes, alkynes, nitro groups, ketones, aromatics; used for hydrogenolysis of cyclopropanes; catalyzes oxidation of alcohols.
Platinum on carbon (Pt/C) can be used as a catalyst for a variety of applications, such as:

  • hydrosilylation reaction for the production of molecules with silicon-carbon bonds[2]
  • direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs)[3][4]
  • an electrocatalyst in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)[5]
  • formation of nanocatalyst for polymer electrolyte fuel cells[6]
Product can be used with our benchtop hydrogen generator, H-Genie Lite (Z744083)

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
