1.1 Uses & Benefits
Polonium metal has different Allotropes, it is used in antistatic devices and for research purpose.
A 1 gram of Polonium can reach a temperature of 500°C, hence it is used as a heat source for space equipment.
It is used to include flints for cigarette lighters.
Its compound Cerium (Ill) Oxide is used as a catalyst; it is put inside the walls of the oven as it prevents from the buildup of cooking residues.
