American Elements offers
rhodium concentrate with a majority rhodium base component. Preparation of rhodium concentrate typically involves the removal of water from an rhodium solution. American Elements specializes in producing high purity Rhodium Concentrate with the smallest possible average grain sizes for use in preparation of pressed and bonded sputtering targets and in Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes including Thermal and Electron Beam (E-Beam) Evaporation, Low Temperature Organic Evaporation, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD),
Metallic-Organic and Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). Rhodium concentrate is similar to
powder in that it is made up of minute, dry particles of pure substance. Concentrate is also useful in any application where
high surface areas are desired such as
water treatment and in
fuel cell and
solar applications.
Nanoparticles also produce very high surface areas. Our standard Concentrate particle sizes average in the range of - 325 mesh, - 100 mesh, 10-50 microns and submicron ( 1 micron). We can also provide many materials in the nanoscale range. American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade,
USP and
EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia)and follows applicable
ASTM testing standards. Typical and custom packaging is available. We also produce
Rhodium as
rod,
ingot,
pieces,
pellets,
disc,
granules,
wire, and in compound forms, such as
oxide. Other shapes are available by request. Rhodium concentrate is advantageous for transportation since it reduces weight and volume. A solution can be reproduced at the time of usage with the addition of a solvent.
