Description

General description

Potassium hexachloroplatinate (K₂PtCl₆) is a source material for the preparation of platinum based compounds. It can be used in the preparation of platinum colloids by its reduction in an aqueous solution.

Application

K₂PtCl₆ can be used in the preparation of electrodes for potential usage in biosensors. It can be synthesized on nanostructured platinum that can further be used as a cathode catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction.
