abstract = {The recycling of precious metals, for example, platinum, is
an essential aspect of sustainability for the modern
industry and energy sectors. However, due to its resistance
to corrosion, platinum-leaching techniques rely on high
reagent consumption and hazardous processes, for example,
boiling aqua regia; a mixture of concentrated nitric and
hydrochloric acid. Here we demonstrate that complete
dissolution of metallic platinum can be achieved by induced
surface potential alteration, an ‘electrode-less’
process utilizing alternatively oxidative and reductive
gases. This concept for platinum recycling exploits the
so-called transient dissolution mechanism, triggered by a
repetitive change in platinum surface oxidation state,
without using any external electric current or electrodes.
The effective performance in non-toxic low-concentrated acid
and at room temperature is a strong benefit of this
approach, potentially rendering recycling of industrial
catalysts, including but not limited to platinum-based
systems, more sustainable.},
