Palladium (Pd)

Palladium (Pd) is a rare, precious metal part of the platinum group, known for its silvery-white appearance and excellent resistance to corrosion. It is primarily used in catalytic converters in vehicles to reduce harmful emissions, in electronics, jewelry, and dentistry. Palladium's unique ability to absorb hydrogen also makes it valuable in fuel cell technology and chemical processes. Its scarcity and demand in industrial applications have made it a sought-after investment asset. As a metal, palladium combines durability with high conductivity, making it essential in many high-tech and environmental solutions.
