Platinum on Carbon Catalyst Description

Platinum on Carbon Catalyst, also known as platinum/carbon catalyst or Pt/C catalyst, is a type of catalyst in which platinum nanoparticles are supported on a carbon material. The carbon material can be in the form of activated carbon, charcoal, or carbon black.

Platinum is chosen as the active component of the catalyst because it has excellent catalytic properties, particularly for reactions involving hydrogen and oxygen. It is widely used in various industrial processes and applications, including fuel cells, hydrogenation reactions, and oxidation reactions.

The carbon support enhances the stability and dispersion of the platinum nanoparticles, allowing for better accessibility of reactants to the active sites on the catalyst surface. The carbon support also helps prevent platinum nanoparticles from aggregating or undergoing sintering, which can significantly degrade the catalyst performance.
