Abstract
The successful development of gold and silver plating in 1840 led to a number of scientists turning their attention to the electrodeposition of platinum and palladium, but before commercially satisfactory processes could be established they met with considerable difficulties because of the insolubility of the anodes and of the complex nature of the chemical compounds of these metals.
