Very stable suspensions of small sized (c.a. 1.2 nm) and homogeneously dispersed ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) were obtained by decomposition, under H(2), of (η(4)-1,5-cyclooctadiene)(η(6)-1,3,5-cyclooctatriene)ruthenium(0), [Ru(COD)(COT)], in various imidazolium derived ionic liquids (ILs: [RMIm][NTf(2)] (R = C(n)H(2n+1) where n = 2; 4; 6; 8; 10) and in the presence of amines as ligands (1-octylamine, 1-hexadecylamine). These nanoparticles were compared to others stabilized either in pure ILs or by the same ligands in THF. NMR experiments ((13)C solution and DOSY) demonstrate that the amines are coordinated to the surface of the RuNPs. These RuNPs were investigated for the hydrogenation of aromatics and have shown a high level of recyclability (up to 10 cycles) with neither loss of activity nor significant agglomeration.

This work investigates the surface chemistry of the Ru/CeO catalyst under varying pretreatment conditions and during the oxidation of propane, focusing on both dry and humid environments. Our results show that the Ru/CeO catalyst calcined in O at 500 °C initiates propane oxidation at 200 °C, achieves high conversion rates above 400 °C, and demonstrates almost no change in activity in the presence of water vapor across the entire studied temperature range of 200-500 °C. Prereduction of the oxidized Ru/CeO catalyst in H significantly enhances its activity, though this enhancement diminishes at higher temperatures.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) induces tissue hypoxia, resulting in disrupted energy metabolism and heightened oxidative stress. These factors contribute to tubular cell damage, which is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) and can progress to chronic kidney disease (CKD). The excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AKI.

Microelectrodes offer exceptional sensitivity, rapid response, and versatility, making them ideal for real-time detection and monitoring applications. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors have shown great value in many fields due to their high sensitivity, fast response, and ease of operation. Nevertheless, conventional PEC sensing relies on cumbersome external light sources and bulky electrodes, hindering its miniaturization and implantation, thereby limiting its application in real-time disease monitoring.

The hydrogenation of carbon dioxide into profitable chemicals is a viable path toward achieving the objective of carbon neutrality. However, the typical approach for hydrogenation of CO heavily relies on thermally driven catalysis at high temperatures, which is not aligned with the goals of carbon neutrality. Thus, there is a critical need to explore new catalytic methods for the high-efficiency conversion of CO.

Development of high-performance electrocatalysts for water splitting is crucial for a sustainable hydrogen economy. In this study, rapid heating of ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate by magnetic induction heating (MIH) leads to the one-step production of Ru-RuO₂/C nanocomposites composed of closely integrated Ru and RuO₂ nanoparticles. The formation of Mott-Schottky heterojunctions significantly enhances charge transfer across the Ru-RuO interface leading to remarkable electrocatalytic activities toward both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1 m KOH.
