Ruthenium (3) chloride hydrate, – CAS 14898-67-0

Ruthenium chloride is most used as a precursor for the synthesis of ruthenium complexes; RuCl3·H2O with 99.99% trace metals purity is well-suited for applications in materials science; one common application of ruthenium trichloride hydrate is in the synthesis of ruthenium nanoparticles, which are used as catalysts or composited with other materials and used as co-catalysts for both oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions; researchers have used our ruthenium chloride hydrate to produce high-quality, catalytically active ruthenium nanoparticles[2] and ruthenium oxide nanoparticles.
Another common application of ruthenium chloride hydrate is as a precursor for single-atom catalysts; for example, scientists have used ruthenium chloride hydrate for the synthesis of ruthenium single-atom-doped ZrO2 particles to catalyze nitrogen fixation and for the synthesis of ruthenium single-atom-doped MXenes to catalyze hydrogen evolution; a third common application of ruthenium chloride hydrate is in the synthesis of metal alloys, like PtRuIr[6], or PtRuFe[7], which are investigated for electrocatalysis, usually the oxidation of simple organics like methanol or formic acid.
For use in all these applications, also consider our higher-purity ruthenium chloride hydrate, 463779, with trace metals purity greater than 99.99%, which offers the best reproducibility and purity
