Rhodium Powder


In addition to gold, rhodium was also used at my lab. Rhodium is a rare, silvery-white, and chemically inert noble metal. Its attractive gloss always impressed me. Therefore, rhodium powder was prepared. As shown in the following pictures, the gloss of rhodium powder in a beaker is very beautiful.
