Platinum oxide has a wide range of uses and my country’s enthusiasm for research and development is rising

Platinum oxide is also called platinum dioxide, anhydrous platinum oxide, and Adams catalyst. Its molecular formula is PtO2 and it is an oxide of platinum. Platinum oxide appears as black or brown-black powder. It is soluble in hydrochloric acid and insoluble in hydrofluoric acid, water and strong acid. Platinum oxide is an important catalyst and is widely used in organic synthesis, electronic and electrical, medical, metallurgy and other fields.

Platinum oxide is a precious metal material. Affected by factors such as high production costs and insufficient supply of raw materials, its market price has been running at a high level for a long time. Platinum oxide recycling can effectively reduce platinum oxide production costs and achieve environmental protection. Driven by national environmental protection policies, this method is gradually favored by major manufacturers. Biological reduction, carbothermal reduction and acid leaching are the main methods for platinum oxide recovery. Compared with the other two methods, the biological reduction method has the advantages of good finished product quality, high production efficiency, and no pollution. As the development of the platinum oxide recycling industry accelerates, my country’s platinum oxide production and quality are expected to further increase in the future.

According to the “2023-2028 China Platinum Oxide Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, oxidation Platinum is widely used, including organic synthesis, electronic and electrical, medical, metallurgy, etc. In the field of organic synthesis, platinum oxide serves as a hydrogenation catalyst and can participate in oxidation reactions, hydrogenolysis reactions, hydrogenation reactions, etc.; in the field of electronics and electrical appliances, platinum oxide can be used as resistance materials, thick film circuit materials, and potentiometer component ingredients; in In the medical field, platinum oxide can be used to produce medical devices such as CT scanners, radiotherapy equipment, and X-ray machines.

With the continuous deepening of research, the application scope of platinum oxide in my country continues to expand, driving its market demand to become increasingly strong. However, at present, my country’s platinum oxide market is in short supply, and demand is highly dependent on imports. Shaanxi Kaida Chemical Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Ruike New Materials Co., Ltd., Guiyan Platinum Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Kaida Catalytic Metal Materials Co., Ltd., and Xi’an Kaili New Materials Co., Ltd. are the main platinum oxide manufacturers in my country. .

In recent years, attracted by market prospects, my country’s enthusiasm for platinum oxide research has continued to rise. In November 2022, Professor Long Shibing’s team at the University of Science and Technology of China discovered for the first time the existence of electric dipoles in the polycrystalline structure of platinum oxide, which can effectively increase the Schottky barrier height. This research is expected to be applied to high blocking properties in the future. in electronic devices.

Industry analysts said that platinum oxide, as an important catalyst and precious metal material, has broad application prospects in many fields. In the future, it will be accompanied by the research and development of local enterprises. With increasing investment, its application scope will be further expanded. The market price of platinum oxide is relatively high, and platinum oxide recycling has the advantages of being green and environmentally friendly and having low operating costs. It is expected to be widely used in the preparation process of platinum oxide in the future.
