Iridium(IV) Oxide Powder

Product Information

Iridium(IV) oxide, IrO2, is the only well-characterised oxide of iridium. It is a blue-black solid. The compound adopts the TiO2 rutile structure, featuring six coordinate iridium and three coordinate oxygen. It is used with other rare oxides in the coating of anode-electrodes for industrial electrolysis and in microelectrodes for electrophysiology research. As described by its discoverers, it can be formed by treating the green form of iridium trichloride with oxygen at high temperatures:

Iridium Oxide is a highly insoluble thermally stable Iridium source suitable for glass, optic and ceramic applications. Iridium oxide is a black solid that is the only well characterized oxide of iridium. Iridium oxide is a ceramic material with unique properties such as long-term stability, sensitivity, electrochemical catalytic activity and good biodegradability. It can be formed from iridium metal by different methods, such as thermal degradation, reactive sputtering, and electrochemical deposition. It is widely used in bioelectronic devices.
