Platinum recycling going green via induced surface potential alteration enabling fast and efficient dissolution

Given the scarcity and cost of platinum, it is important to develop sustainable processes for its recycling. Here, the authors report the dissolution of metallic platinum using reductive and oxidative gases to repetitively change its surface oxidation state, in the absence of an external electric cu...
