XT 40% Ruthenium on Ketjenblack EC-300J Grade T

The 40% Ruthenium on Ketjenblack EC-300J manufactured by Fuel Cells Etc is a fine powder that can be used as a catalyst or electrocatalyst in various electrochemical and chemical applications, such as the following examples:

• Hydrogen evolution reaction or HER,
• Water splitting reaction,
• Electrochemical sensors,
• Formic acid dehydrogenation,
• On-demand hydrogen generation from ammonia borane, sodium borohydride, and other chemical hydrides via hydrolysis reaction,
• Aqueous nitrate/nitrite reduction (denitrification, often yielding NH3/N2),
• Catalytic wet air oxidation (for the destruction of recalcitrant organics in wastewater),
• Hydrodechlorination of chlorophenols (for water treatment),
• Hydrodeoxygenation and hydrogenolysis of lignin-derived phenolics and β-O-4 cleavage (such as phenol to cyclohexane),
• Cellulose upgrading (hydrolytic hydrogenation to sorbitol and related polyols),
• Sugar/biopolymer upgrading (such as glucose to sorbitol),
• Biomass furanics (such as furfural to furfuryl alcohol and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol),
• Biomass platform molecules (such as levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone),
• Hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines,
• Carbonyl hydrogenation in aqueous phase (such as butanone to 2-butanol, lactic acid to 1,2-propanediol),
• Selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes/ketones,
• Hydrogenation of aromatic rings (such as benzene to cyclohexane),
• Sabatier reaction (CO/CO₂ methanation)
