Application

  • Photocatalytic disinfection: A study highlighted the synthesis of silver-ruthenium bimetallic zinc oxide nanocomposites using Callistemon viminalis leaf extract. These nanocomposites demonstrated effective photocatalytic disinfection properties against Escherichia coli, presenting a promising application in antimicrobial coatings (Jha et al., 2024).
  • Photoelectrocatalysis for hydrogen production: RuO(2)/TiO(2) heterostructures were investigated for their potential in photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen evolution, combining experimental and theoretical approaches to highlight the efficiency of ruthenium-based materials in renewable energy technologies (Kaikhosravi et al., 2023).
  • Electrochemical applications: The study explored the electrochemical properties of mixed RuOx/MnOx electrodes, prepared by thermal decomposition from different precursors, showing significant implications for their use in energy storage and conversion systems (Petrucci et al., 2022).
  • Catalysis and electrocatalysis: Unprotected and interconnected Ru(0) nano-chain networks were examined for their advantages in catalysis and electrocatalysis, illustrating the benefits of unprotected surfaces for improved reaction kinetics and efficiency (Anantharaj et al., 2016).

Ruthenium complexes have been considered as promising substitutes for cisplatin in cancer chemotherapy. However, novel ruthenium-based therapies are faced with some limitations, such as unimpressive cytotoxicity toward solid tumors. Herein, we designed and synthesized phenyl-substituted terpyridyl ruthenium(ii) complexes ([Ru(tpy)(bpy)Cl](+) (Ru1)
