Special Issue on Research on Platinum

Platinum has six naturally occurring isotopes. It occurs in some nickel and copper ores along with some native deposits, mostly in South Africa, which accounts for 80% of the world production. As a member of the platinum group of elements, as well as of the group 10 of the periodic table of elements, platinum is generally non-reactive. It exhibits a remarkable resistance to corrosion, even at high temperatures, and as such is considered a noble metal. As a result, platinum is often found chemically uncombined as native platinum. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of research on platinum.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore research on platinum. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Catalytic properties of platinum
• Platinum nanoparticles
• The application of platinum
• Nano platinum technology
• Chemical properties of platinum
• The physical properties of platinum
• Platinum compounds

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue’’ under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Research on Platinum” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
