Precious metals for special applications
Precious metals are also used in areas such as energy, medical or solar technology, to name a few, and we can recover them.
In the energy industry, precious metals are used in catalysts to reduce emissions of pollutants from combustion processes. Metals are also naturally found in fuel cells, which convert hydrogen into electrical energy. Precious metals are also used in electrical contacts and circuits in power generation and distribution.
In medical technology, precious metals are used on sputtering targets due to their corrosion-resistant and antimicrobial properties.
In solar technology, precious metals are used in photovoltaic cells. The conductive properties of the metals are particularly important here, improving the efficiency of the cells, among other things.
Our services are not limited to energy, medical and solar technologies, they also include many other industries where precious metals are used. Feel free to contact us to learn more about how we can help you.
Fuel cells / MEAs / Bipolar plates
Precious metals are used as catalysts in fuel cells to increase the reaction speed and improve the efficiency of the fuel cells.
Platinum is the most commonly used precious metal in fuel cells because it is very effective as a catalyst for the reactions of hydrogen and oxygen.
Rhodium can be used in fuel cells to extend the service life of the cells as it is resistant to corrosion.
Iridium has a high catalysis activity, especially in the oxidation of hydrogen.
