Silver continues to see firm resistance at $34 an ounce; however, one analyst said that the precious metal’s time will come, and it could be later this year.

“The market fundamentals of supply and demand suggest upside to the current PGM basket price,” CEO Craig Miller highlighted about a group of precious metals that touch lives globally in the form of platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium and ruthenium.

The newly developed catalyst features a ruthenium (Ru)-based nanocluster with a core-shell structure. Despite using only a minimal amount of precious metal, it delivers world-class performance and exceptional stability. Moreover, when applied to industrial-scale water electrolysis equipment, it demonstrated remarkable efficiency, highlighting its potential for commercial applications.
