Product Introduction

A unified selection guide for Ruthenium on Carbon, carbon-free Ru Black, and RuO2 powder routes.

Premetek® Ruthenium-Based Catalysts are designed for electrolyzers, fuel cells, sensors, and other electrochemical research applications. The Ru/C series covers nominal loadings such as 20% and 40% and is available on both Vulcan XC-72 and Ketjen Black carbon supports, making it suitable for parallel screening by loading and support type.

Ru Black represents a carbon-free metal/oxide black powder route and is supplied as high-surface-area Ru Black (partially deactivated to RuO2), making it suitable for baseline comparisons between black-powder and oxide routes. RuO2 is a typical oxide powder system that can be used for RuO2 powder route development, electrochemical materials research, and conductive oxide studies.

This page retains key information including model, support/morphology, assay, crystallite size, metal surface area, and catalyst BET, and also includes a quick selection table, video module, FAQ, and purchase support section for efficient specification verification before research purchasing.

FAQ

What product routes are currently included on this Ruthenium-based page?

This page integrates the three main routes—Ru/C, Ru Black, and RuO2—and presents parameters according to the referenced actual models.

How should Ru/C be selected between Vulcan XC-72 and Ketjen Black?

It is recommended to first compare similar Ru nominal loadings, then evaluate support differences, catalyst BET, and other structural parameters. If a high-surface-area support route is preferred, Ketjen Black is a strong option to review first.

What is the difference between Ru Black and RuO2?

Ru Black is a carbon-free metal/oxide black powder route, whereas RuO2 is an oxide powder route. The page lists the corresponding models and parameters separately for straightforward side-by-side comparison.
