NanoSelect™ Pt-100

BASF´s Pt-100 is a carbon powder-based catalyst containing 0.8wt% of platinum as unimodal, highly dispersed, and reduced metal crystallites. The catalyst is supplied as a water-wet paste but can also be supplied in dry form.

NanoSelect catalysts are characterized by unimodal metal particles on the nanometer scale. Nanotechnology is science and controlled engineering on the scale of nanometers (billionths of a meter). Reducing the size of metal particles to nanometers:

  • Greatly increases the metal surface area available per gram.
  • Boosts the catalytic activity.
  • Demonstrates different catalytic behavior.
