Hybrid functional RuO2–Al2O3 thin films prepared by atomic layer deposition for inkjet printhead

Hybrid functional RuO₂–Al₂O₃ thin films were prepared by atomic layer deposition using bis(ethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium (Ru(EtCp)₂) and trimethyl aluminum (TMA). The intermixing ratios between RuO₂ and Al₂O₃ in the RuO₂–Al₂O₃ thin films were controlled from (RuO₂)_0.16–(Al₂O₃)_0.84 to (RuO₂)_0.72–(Al₂O₃)_0.28. With the RuO₂ intermixing ratio less than 0.43, both temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) values and resistivities were abruptly changed. The TCR values for RuO₂–Al₂O₃ thin films were changed from ?381 to ?62.3 ppm/K by changing the RuO₂ intermixing ratios from 0.43 to 0.83, while the resistivities were also changed from 1,200 to 243 μΩ·cm. Moreover, the change in the TCR of RuO₂–Al₂O₃ thin films was below 127 ppm/K even after O₂ annealing process at 700 °C. Moreover, it showed that RuO₂–Al₂O₃ thin films had a high corrosion resistance due to the highly corrosion-resistive RuO₂ and Al₂O₃.     

Effect of H2S-uptake on the conversion of cyclohexene on Ru- and Pd-promoted molybdena-alumina catalysts

The effect of H₂S on the activity and selectivity of catalysts (Ru/Al₂O₃, Pd/Al₂O₃ and Ru and Pd promoted molydena-alumina) was different (on differnt catalysts and different conversions of cyclohexene). Ru-containing catalysts showed higher sulfur sensitivities than the Pd-containing ones. The sequence of catalysts by their H₂S uptake related to mass of catalyst was PdMo/Al₂O₃RuMo/Al₂O₃Mo/Al₂O₃>Pd/Al₂O₃Ru/Al₂O₃.     

The effect of the nature of the support on catalytic properties of ruthenium supported catalysts in partial oxidation of methane to syn-gas

The effect of the carrier on catalytic properties of ruthenium supported catalysts in partial oxidation of methane (POM) was investigated. A variety of supports differed in texture and reducibility (Al₂O₃, SiO₂, TiO₂, Cr₂O₃, CeO₂ and Fe₂O₃) were used. The catalyst activity is governed by ruthenium phase formation (RuO₂ → Ru⁰), and it depends on redox properties of the support as well as support-ruthenium phase interaction. The activity of Ru supported catalysts decreases in the order Al₂O₃ ≈ SiO₂ > Cr₂O₃ > TiO₂ > CeO₂ > Fe₂O₃. No significant effects of the specific surface area and porosity of catalysts on the methane conversion and selectivity of CO formation were found. The selectivity of CO₂ formation (total oxidation of CH₄) under conditions of POM (a ratio of CH₄/O₂ = 2) is associated with the contribution of reducible support oxides into the catalytic performance.     

EQCM Study of Ru and RuO2 Surface Electrochemistry

The present study represents comparative analysis of voltammetric and microgravimetric behavior of active ruthenium (Ru), electrochemically passivated ruthenium (Ru/RuO₂) and thermally formed RuO₂ electrodes in the solutions of 0.5 M H₂SO₄ and 0.1 M KOH. It has been found that cycling the potential of active Ru electrode within E ranges 0 V–0.8 V and 0 V–1.2 V in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ and 0.1 M KOH solutions, respectively, leads to continuous electrode mass increase, while mass changes observed in alkaline medium are considerably smaller than those in acidic one. Microgravimetric response of active Ru electrode in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ within 0.2 V–0.8 V has revealed reversible character of anodic and cathodic processes. The experimentally found anodic mass gain and cathodic mass loss within 0.2–0.8 V make 2.2–2.7 g F^?1, instead of 17 g F^?1, which is the theoretically predicted value for Ru(OH)₃ formation according to equation: Ru+3H₂O?Ru(OH)₃+3H⁺+3e^?. In the case of Ru/RuO₂ electrode relatively small changes in mass have been found to accompany the anodic and cathodic processes within E range between 0.4 V and 1.2 V in the solution of 0.5 M H₂SO₄. Meanwhile cycling the potential of thermally formed RuO₂ electrode under the same conditions has lead to continuous decrease in electrode mass, which has been attributed to irreversible dehydration of RuO₂ layer. On the basis of microgravimetric and voltammetric study as well as the coulometric analysis of the results conclusions are presented regarding the nature of surface processes taking place on Ru and RuO₂ electrodes.     

Catalysis of Ruthenium-Metal Oxides Mechanically Mixed with Sulfated Zirconia for Reaction of Butane to Isobutane

A highly active catalyst for the skeletal isomerization of butane to isobutane was obtained by mechanically mixing SO₄/ZrO₂ and Ru/SnO₂; Ru/SO₂ was prepared by impregnating tin hydroxide with a solution of RuCl₃ followed by calcining at 450°C (0.5 wt.% Ru). The catalyst was much more active than Ru-SO₄/ZrO₂ prepared by co-impregnation of zirconia with the Ru and sulfate materials the temperature difference to show the same conversion between both catalysts being 57°C. The effect of mixing of Ru was observed with other metal oxides as supports, Fe₂O₃, Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, TiO₂, and SiO₂; the calcination temperature of the Ru-impregnated hydroxides was 250, 300, and 400°C for the latter three, respectively.     

Thermal Activation of CH4 and H2 as Mediated by the Ruthenium Oxide Cluster Ions [RuOx]+ (x=1–3): On the Influence of Oxidation States

Thermal gas-phase reactions of the ruthenium-oxide clusters [RuO_x]⁺ (x=1–3) with methane and dihydrogen have been explored by using FT-ICR mass spectrometry complemented by high-level quantum chemical calculations. For methane activation, as compared to the previously studied [RuO]⁺/CH₄ couple, the higher oxidized Ru systems give rise to completely different product distributions. [RuO₂]⁺ brings about the generations of [Ru,O,C,H₂]⁺/H₂O, [Ru,O,C]⁺/H₂/H₂O, and [Ru,O,H₂]⁺/CH₂O, whereas [RuO₃]⁺ exhibits a higher selectivity and efficiency in producing formaldehyde and syngas (CO+H₂). Regarding the reactions with H₂, as compared to CH₄, both [RuO]⁺ and [RuO₂]⁺ react similarly inefficiently with oxygen-atom transfer being the main reaction channel; in contrast, [RuO₃]⁺ is inert toward dihydrogen. Theoretical analysis reveals that the reduction of the metal center drives the overall oxidation of methane, whereas the back-bonding orbital interactions between the cluster ions and dihydrogen control the H−H bond activation. Furthermore, the reactivity patterns of [RuO_x]⁺ (x=1–3) with CH₄ and H₂ have been compared with the previously reported results of Group 8 analogues [OsO_x]⁺/CH₄/H₂ (x=1–3) and the [FeO]⁺/H₂ system. The electronic origins for their distinctly different reaction behaviors have been addressed.     

Radiochemical determination of ruthenium-106 in urine

The method is based on volatilization of Ru in the form of RuO₄ by distillation of wetashed urine with KMnO₄, precipitation of Ru hydroxide, and β-counting. Before the distillation, most of the organic compounds are destroyed by wet-ashing with H₂SO₄ and 30% H₂O₂ at 140°C, with subsequent evaporation until fuming. The chemical recovery is determined photometrically at 430 nm using the solution of β-counted Ru hydroxide in KIO₄/KOH reagent. The mean recovery is about 70%.     

Reduction behavior of Ru/CeO2 catalysts and their activity for wet oxidation

Three kinds of Ru/CeO₂ catalysts were prepared. The mobility of the oxygen on Ru and their catalytic activity in the wet oxidation of acetic acid was investigated. Ru was present in the form of RuO₂, and TPR experiment showed that the reaction, RuO₂ + 2H₂ Ru + 2H₂O, took place in different temperature ranges depending upon the kind of the catalysts. The catalyst with easily reducible oxygen on Ru had high activity in wet oxidation, and the importance of the release of oxygen from Ru to the reactant was suggested.     

TPR studies on steam reforming of 2-propanol on Rh/Al2O3, Ru/Al2O3 and Pd/Al2O3

Reaction pathways for steam reforming of 2-propanol (isopropyl alcohol, IPA) on Rh/Al₂O₃, Ru/Al₂O₃ and Pd/Al₂O₃ have been studied by temperature-programmed reactions (TPRs) of IPA and acetone in the presence of steam. The results of TPRs suggest that that of IPA on Rh/Al₂O₃ and Ru/Al₂O₃ proceeds via acetone, while the steam reforming of IPA on Pd/Al₂O₃ takes place via propene from acetone. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Infrared spectroscopy study of adsorption and coadsorption of carbon monoxide and hydrogen on Ru/Al203

IR spectroscopy was used to study CO adsorption and coadsorption with H₂ on 5% Ru/Al₂O₃. By variation of sample pretreatment, CO pressures, contact time and temperature several surface species were identified: mono– and multicarbonyl species formed with ruthenium in different oxidation state and on various sites of the catalyst surface. During CO and H₂ coadsorption and interaction, a new band at 2030 cm^–1 was registered. It was assigned to a 'hydrocarbonyl' species on the metal particles. Thermal stability of some CO species was studied. Most stable and least reactive species was found to be a multicarbonyl giving rise to bands at 1980 and 2060 cm^–1.
