Application

Platinum on carbon (5 wt.% loading, matrix activated carbon support) (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
• hydrogenation of alkenes, alkynes, nitro groups, ketones, and aromatics
• hydrogenolysis of cyclopropanes
• oxidation of alcohols.

Pt/C can also be used as an hydrosilylation catalyst. It can convert alkenes and alkynes to chlorosilanes, alkylsilanes, and alkoxysilanes at the temperature and pressure conditions of 100-300 ^oC and 30-1000 psi, respectively.It may be also used as a catalyst in methanol fuel cells.

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