Uses

Rhodium(III) sulfate is used as plating reagents and additives for noble metal. It is also used for fancy plating rhodium in jewellery and horologe. Further, it is used for decorative applications.

General Description

Rhodium(III) sulfate is an anhydrous metal sulfate that is formed by oxidizing rhodium with concentrated sulphuric acid. It is a red crystal that forms a hydrated solution at high temperatures. It is majorly used in the production of high performance coatings by electroplating technique.
