Used as oxidation catalysts in air pollution abatement processes to remove organic vapors, odors or carbon monoxide. The automotive industry is the principal consumer of PGM as oxidation catalysts in catalytic converters to treat exhaust emissions. The primary medical use of PGM is in cancer chemotherapy. Other medical uses include platinum-iridium alloys in prosthetic and biomedical devices. PGM are good for solar photovoltaic arrays to supply power. Its catalyst properties make it an excellent electrode for fuel cells. Chemical uses include catalysts for organic synthesis, such as hydrogenation, dehydrogenation and isomerization.
