Description

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.

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
• direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs)
• an electrocatalyst in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)
• formation of nanocatalyst for polymer electrolyte fuel cells

Product can be used with our benchtop hydrogen generator, H-Genie Lite (Z744083)
