Palladium is one of the platinum group metals (PGMs) and it has a lot in common with its higher profile brother. Like platinum, palladium is a lustrous, silver-white metal. It has many of the same applications. The largest application is in automobile catalytic converters, but there are als...
More recently, cost-saving measures have motivated studies on the replacement of platinum by a cheaper metal: palladium. The structures of three different types of palladium-modified aluminide coating on Inconel 100 (IN 100) substrates are described; it is shown that the integrity of the coatings...
The Gonneville palladium project in Western Australia is strategically positioned to benefit when commodity markets rebound, with its scale, long-life potential, and second-quartile cost estimates...

Palladium has been used as a precious metal in jewelry since 1939 as an alternative to platinum in the alloys called "white gold", where the naturally white color of palladium does not require rhodium plating. Palladium, being much less dense than platinum, is similar to gold in that it can...
Platinum–iridium alloys are used in the manufacturing industries for the production of machine parts, containers (crucibles), fountain-pen nib heads, and electric contacts that may be exposed to high temperatures and chemicals. The other uses include jewelry and electrodes of spark plugs. • ...
under Anhydrous Condition received: 18 August 2016 accepted: 17 October 2016 Published: 04 November 2016 Zehui Yang,Ying Ling,Yunfeng Zhang & Guodong Xu Due to the high cost of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), replacing platinum (Pt) with some inexpensive metal was carried ...
the reference electrode and the working electrode were platinum wire, saturated calomel electrode and NPG wire respectively. The potential range applied to the working electrode was from 0.2 to 1.2 V (vs. SCE) at the scanning rate of 20 mV s−1. After certain cyclic, the Pd was ...
In recent years, considerable efforts have been made to trim down the cost along with maximum utilization of Pd-based materials by a bunch of optimized strategies, such as heterogeneous interface designing, supporting engineering, strain engineering, crystal phase engineering, microstructure regulation, ...

The platinum-iridium alloys provide a combination of strength and biocompatibility. However, the price of platinum has reached record levels, recently exceeding $900 per ounce, which is three times the current cost of palladium. This places significant economic strains on the continued use of high ...
