1.1 Uses & Benefits
Rhodium metal is mainly used in catalytic converters for cars as it reduces nitrogen oxides in exhaust gases.
It is used as an industrial catalyst for nitric acid, acetic acid, hydrogenation reaction, etc.
It has a tendency to get tarnished in the open air, but when alloyed with elements like erbium, vanadium, its hardness levels decreases.
Its compounds like Erbium oxide is used in safety glasses of welders and metal workers.
