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.
As this metal does not absorb neutrons; It is used in nuclear power stations.
Its oxide is used in ultra strong ceramics. It is also used in manufacturing Crucibles.
