Application

Potassium is widely used in organic synthesis as a strong reducing agent and catalyst. It serves as a critical component in the production of potassium superoxide (KO2) for oxygen generation systems. In metallurgy, potassium is employed to refine alloys and as a heat-transfer medium in nuclear reactors. Researchers also utilize it in electrochemical studies and as a reference standard in spectroscopy.
