General description

Ruthenium(III) chloride hydrate exhibits excellent catalytic activity, attributed to the redox properties of ruthenium suitable for fuel cells and other electrochemical devices. It has ability to facilitate charge transfer and exhibit photoactive behavior.

Application

Ruthenium(III) chloride hydrate can be used:
  • As a precursor to prepare ultralow Ru loaded graphene aerogel that exhibits electrocatalytic performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).
  • As a dopant to prepare Ru-doped TiO2 electron transport layer for mesoscopic perovskite solar cell by spin-coating technique. This helps to enhance photoconversion efficiency and air stability.
  • To fabricate ultra-uniform Ru nanocluster catalyst via small-molecule self-assembly pyrolysis method. These catalysts exhibit excellent hydrogen evolution activity in Zinc air batteries under all pH conditions.

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.

Materials for Clean H2 Production from Bioethanol Reforming

Hydrogen is one of the most important resources in providing food, fuel, and chemical products for our everyday life. Sustainable catalytic hydrogen production from bioethanol has gained significant attention in recent years due to globally diminishing fossil fuel supplies, which have necessitated the search for new chemical feedstocks.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
