Platinum metal group element used in catalytic converters (7)

I believe the answer is:

rhodium

(Other definitions for rhodium that I've seen before include "Metallic element, atomic no 45" , "Hard metallic element" , "Hard metal" , "Chemical element, symbol Rh" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
