Recently I obtained some platinum wire to use as a catalyst. My planned reaction is making NO2 from ammonia and oxygen and then bubble it through
water or hydrogen peroxide to make nitric acid. This reaction causes the platinum to heat up a lot. Obviously I don't want it to contact any glassware
because the glass may break or melt. What is the best way to position the wire for the best reaction and safest process?

Maybe make a reaction vessel out of a steel can to house the platinum wire.

Attach the Platinum wire to a lab stand and position it so it hangs in the middle of the beaker/flask.
