Platinum cake-ammonium chloroplatinate

[harryr]

Does anyone know where I can get a quantity of yellow platinum cake reduced to platinum sponge.
I have been doing it myself in a home made autoclave with scrubber but I cant handle the amount of smoke that comes off of it as it reduces.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

You can reduce it in solution using hydrazine or with formic acid as detailed in Hoke.

How much are you needing reduced and do you have photos and spot tests of the material?

I would be interested in reducing the material.

I have a hydrogen reduction furnace.
