Key Applications
Catalytic Applications
Used in automotive catalysts, nitric acid synthesis, exhaust gas treatment, and magnetic nanoparticle fabrication. The size-dependent catalytic properties of platinum nanoparticles make them highly efficient for chemical and energy-related reactions.
Antibacterial and Antifungal Additive
Platinum nanoparticles can be added to plastics, coatings, and textiles to prevent the growth and reproduction of bacteria and fungi, making them suitable for medical surfaces, filters, and wearable applications.
Conductivity Enhancement
While platinum is conductive on its own, it is especially useful when doping materials like zinc oxide, enhancing their semiconductive behavior without sacrificing other beneficial properties.
Nanotechnology & Advanced Materials
Due to their nanoscale surface area and stability, platinum nanoparticles are at the forefront of research in novel material design, biocatalysis, drug delivery, and sensor development.
