Product Description
Iridium Black is a high-purity, finely divided form of elemental iridium characterized by its black powder appearance and high surface area (>20 m²/g). It is widely recognized as a premium catalyst material in electrochemical and fuel cell applications due to its outstanding resistance to corrosion, high thermal stability, and excellent catalytic activity.

This fuel cell-grade iridium powder is carefully engineered for use in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), electrolyzers, and various redox reactions. Its uniform particle distribution and high dispersion potential make it an ideal choice for coating electrodes or mixing into catalytic inks.
