Owing to the low solubility of osmium tetroxide in water (around 6 wt%) it is sometimes more convenient to generate osmium tetroxide in situ. This is achieved by using potassium Osmate, K2[OsO4(OH)2]. Potassium Osmate is a convenient material to give osmium (VIII) oxide in which the solvated anion undergoes an acid catalysed dehydration to form OsO4 in situ.

Iridium Ruthenium Oxide HyPer WE 550 - Iridium Ruthenium Oxide has a long track record of use in the field (10 years) and offers demonstrable improvements in durability under the harsh conditions of the electrolyser anode. Ames Goldsmith Ceimig’s unique production process results in a truly intimate alloy of iridium & ruthenium, meaning ruthenium is stable in the catalyst layer and offers synergistic benefits in terms of performance.
