Ranging from the oxidative conversion of water to O(2) to the elegant hydroxylation of olefins and to oxidative dehydrogenation of alcohols Ru-mediated oxidations are finding increasing application due to the unique properties of this extremely versatile transition metal, whose oxidation state can vary from -II to +VIII. Covering recent developments in both homogeneously and heterogeneously catalysed oxidations (in liquid-phase as well as in novel reaction media), this tutorial review aims to provide investigators with a general picture of the chemical and structural origins of the excellent performance of many ruthenium catalysts and to promote further advancement that, it is envisaged, will soon benefit society at large.

The scarcity of cost-effective and durable iridium-free anode electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) poses a significant challenge to the widespread application of the proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEMWE). To address the electrochemical oxidation and dissolution issues of Ru-based electrocatalysts, an electron-donating modification strategy is developed to stabilize WRuO under harsh oxidative conditions. The optimized catalyst with a low Zirconium doping (Zr, 1 wt.

The main bottleneck in the catalytic combustion of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) is deactivation and the production of chlorine-containing byproducts originating from the chlorine species deposited on the catalyst. Herein, Ru supported on SnO (Ru/SnO) was prepared with the lattice matching principle. As RuO and SnO are both rutile phases, Ru species were present as highly dispersed RuO particles on the Ru/SnO catalyst.

Ammonia selective catalytic oxidation (NH-SCO) is an effective method for NH removal. However, it is still a great challenge to develop catalysts with a wide operating temperature window, high catalytic activity and N selectivity, particularly for the removal of high-concentration NH from NH-fueled engine exhaust gas. Herein, a small amount of Ru (0.

Ruthenium oxide (RuO) is considered one of the most promising catalysts for replacing iridium oxide (IrO) in the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Nevertheless, the performance of RuO remains unacceptable due to the dissolution of Ru and the lack of *OH in acidic environments. This paper reports a grain boundary (GB)-rich porous RuO electrocatalyst for the efficient and stable acidic OER.
