The most expensive metal in the world is rhodium. This rare, silver-white metal is a member of the platinum group and is prized for its high melting point, resistance to corrosion, and catalytic properties.
Rhodium is primarily used in automotive catalytic converters to reduce harmful emissions. It is also used in jewelry, electrical contacts, and high-temperature applications.
The price of rhodium fluctuates significantly due to supply and demand, but it often trades at a much higher price than gold or platinum.
