The chemical name of PtO2 is platinum oxide.

PtO2

Platinum dioxide, also known as Adams' catalyst, is usually represented as platinum(IV) oxide hydrate, PtO2-H2O. It is a catalyst for hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis in organic synthesis. This dark brown powder is commercially available. The oxide itself is not an active catalyst, but it becomes active after exposure to hydrogen whereupon it converts to platinum black, which is responsible for reactions.

Metals: platinum, platinum alloys (with Rh, Au, Ir), Pt-zirconia stabilized, nickel, zirconium, inconel 601, tantalum, molybdenum, etc.

Ceramics: porcelain, mullite, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, zirconium oxide (with 10 % yttrium oxide), magnesium oxide, beryllium oxide, cerium sulphide, silica, etc.

Vitrous graphite

Commercially, NO (nitric oxide or nitrogen oxide) is produced by the oxidation of ammonia at between 750 °C to 900 °C using platinum as catalyst.
