Fuel Cells ETC XT 60% platinum on Vulcan XC-72R Grade S catalyst, fine porous powder for electrochemical and catalytic applications.
XT 60% platinum on Vulcan XC-72R
XT 60% Platinum on Vulcan XC-72R Grade S by Fuel Cells ETC is a Pt/C catalyst supplied as a fine porous powder, with approximately 60 wt% platinum and 40 wt% Vulcan XC-72R carbon support.
The official source positions it for electrochemical devices such as PEM fuel cells, PEM electrolyzers, alkaline/AEM fuel cells, direct methanol and direct ethanol fuel cells, electrochemical sensors and modified electrodes for benchmark testing. It can also be used as a heterogeneous catalyst for hydrogenation, nitroaromatic reduction, dehalogenation, hydrogen release and continuous-flow processes.
The material combines 115-135 m2/g BET surface area, nanocrystalline platinum particles dispersed on carbon and face-centered cubic platinum (0) structure. It is supplied as a black porous powder for electrode preparation, catalyst inks and electrochemistry research or development work.
