Ruthenium(0) nanoparticles were successfully prepared on the surface of ceria (Ru/CeO) and used as catalysts on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) from water electrolysis at room temperature. Ru/CeO on GCE exhibits high catalytic activity for OER in alkaline solution. It provides a low onset potential of 1.57 V vs. RHE and low overpotential of 420 mV vs. RHE to reach a current density of 10 mA cm. Ru/CeO on GCE shows no change in the onset potential value even after 6.1 h electrochemical measurement in OER.

Designing a cost-effective catalyst with high activity and stability for hydrogen evolution reaction (2H + 2e → H) is a big challenge due to increasing demand for energy. Herein, we report the electrocatalytic activity of glassy carbon electrodes with group 4 metal oxides (TiO, ZrO, HfO) supported ruthenium(0) nanoparticles in hydrogen evolution reaction. Electrochemical activity of modified electrodes is investigated by recording linear sweep voltammograms in 0.

Nanozirconia supported ruthenium(0) nanoparticles (Ru/ZrO) were prepared by impregnation of ruthenium(III) cations on the surface of zirconia followed by their reduction with sodium borohydride at room temperature. Ru/ZrO was isolated from the reaction solution by centrifugation and characterized by ICP-OES, XRD, TEM, SEM-EDS and XPS techniques. All the results reveal that ruthenium(0) nanoparticles were successfully supported on zirconia and the resulting Ru/ZrO is a highly active and reusable catalyst for hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane with a turnover frequency value of 173 min at 25 °C.
