Ruthenium(IV) oxide

The most often used oxygen catalyst is ruthenium(IV) oxide. It is applied as an electrochemical super capacitor material, and it has high capacity to store charge. RuO2 is used as catalyst in the Deacon process which produces chlorine through the oxidation of hydrogen chloride. Owing to the high charge transfer capability, it is used as active material in super capacitors. The dispersion property of RuO2 is used to increase the capacitance of nanocomposite electrode materials for supercapacitors. RuO2 is extensively used for the coating of titanium anodes, and as a catalyst and doping agent, for use in the removal of hydrogen sulfide from oil refineries. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Ruthenium dioxide is a chemical compound that can be used as an oxidation catalyst. It is a solid material with high resistance and can be used in the water treatment process as well as in electrochemical processes, such as wastewater treatment. Ruthenium dioxide has been shown to have an acidic reaction mechanism, which is related to the particle size of the substance. The large particle size leads to a higher surface area for catalytic activity. Ruthenium dioxide also has the ability to react with hydrogen gas and form hydrogen bonds. This property makes it useful for electrochemical processes, such as wastewater treatment. Ruthenium dioxide also reacts with cationic surfactants containing boron nitride, which allows it to be used in catalysis and electrochemical processes.
