Rhodium is a rare precious metal and is also a member of the platinum group to which palladium and platinum belong. It has excellent physical and chemical properties and is an important material. It has a wide range of applications in the fields of science, industry, medical and energy. Today, we will discuss the application and role of rhodium in the future energy industry, and see whether one of the platinum group elements can become a member of the energy revolution.

1. industrial and scientific applications

rhodium has strong corrosion resistance and heat resistance, so it has become an important component of resistance alloys, corrosion resistant alloys, etc. In addition, rhodium is widely used in the semiconductor industry to improve the quality of semiconductor devices. Rhodium is also an important component of the catalyst, and has relatively excellent catalytic activity as compared with other catalysts. Therefore, rhodium is often used in petrochemical, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. For example, in the chemical synthesis of medicine, the structure of rhodium complex catalyst is similar to that of platinum drugs that can be preserved in organisms, so it is widely used in the development of new drugs.

2. applications in the energy industry

rhodium is very important in the future energy field. At present, in hydrogen and hydrogen fuel cells, platinum group elements play a very important role in catalysts, especially rhodium plays a very prominent role in the hydroxide combustion reaction. At present, many automotive fuel cells use platinum group elements as catalysts, among which platinum-rhodium catalysts have become standard in the commercial fuel cell industry. In biomedicine, rhodium complexes can also be used in bioimaging, cancer treatment and other aspects, especially in anti-cancer chemotherapy. The prospect of

3. rhodium industry

With the development of hydrogen energy, the demand for platinum group elements is also increasing, especially the catalytic performance of rhodium in oxidation and reduction is difficult to replace. At present, the production of platinum group elements is very limited, of which rhodium production is very low, if according to the current use and demand, production capacity will be extremely tight. In addition, the world has begun to enter the era of hydrogen energy, the demand for platinum group elements will greatly increase, which puts forward higher requirements for the development of platinum group elements industry. As a rare precious metal, rhodium plays an important role in the platinum group element industry, and the demand for rhodium will gradually increase in the future.
