MSE PRO 3N5 (99.95%) Rhodium (Rh) Pieces (3-6mm) Evaporation Materials

To better serve you, we would like to discuss your specific requirement, Please Contact Us for a quote.

Rhodium (Rh) is a very rare, silvery-white, hard, corrosion-resistant, and chemically inert transition metal. The element's major use is as one of the catalysts in the three-way catalytic converters in automobiles. Other applications of Rhodium include alloy element for high-temperature and corrosion-resistive coatings, asymmetric hydrogenation membrane and optical coatings. 

The dimensions and purities can be customized upon request. Please contact us for customization or bulk orders.
