Ruthenium on Carbon
Ruthenium on Carbon
Covers Ru/C systems based on Vulcan XC-72 and Ketjen Black, enabling direct comparison of BET, crystallite size, and nominal loading across carbon supports.

Premetek® Ruthenium-Based Catalysts integrate three major routes: Ru/C, Ru Black, and RuO2. The range covers Vulcan XC-72, Ketjen Black, carbon-free Ru Black (partially deactivated to RuO2), and RuO2 oxide powder. This page is organized around actual models and technical parameters, making it easy to compare Ru loading, support differences, crystallite size, metal surface area, and catalyst BET values.
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.
Covers both Vulcan XC-72 and Ketjen Black for flexible selection among carbon-supported routes.
Ru Black (partially deactivated to RuO2) is suitable for black-powder route studies and carbon-free comparison research.
RuO2 is suitable for RuO2 powder route development and related electrochemical materials research.
Provides parameter comparison, pricing reference, FAQ, and purchase support in one place.

Ru/C, Ru Black, and RuO2 can be used for material comparison and scientific screening across different technical routes.
Suitable for parallel experiments focused on loading, support, and morphology within Ruthenium-based materials.
Can be used for research selection and structural comparison of noble-metal and oxide-powder materials.
Standard 1 g / 5 g packaging is suitable for multi-model parallel validation and budget planning.
This page integrates the three main routes—Ru/C, Ru Black, and RuO2—and presents parameters according to the referenced actual models.
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.
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.
Standard models are available through direct inquiry. To confirm Ru loading, support category, Ru Black / RuO2 route, packaging specifications, batch parameters, or delivery lead time, please provide the model and estimated quantity when requesting a quotation. Multi-model purchases, bulk orders, and customized requirements are supported through the official website, email, WeChat, phone, or WhatsApp at SCI Materials Hub.
