Ruthenium Sponge is a porous, high-purity form of ruthenium metal (≥ 99.95% Ru) produced through chemical reduction. Its sponge-like structure provides high surface area, making it ideal for catalyst applications, electronics, and emerging energy-transition technologies. Ruthenium sponge is used in semiconductor manufacturing (EUV photomask coatings), hard disk drives, ammonia synthesis catalysts, electrolysis processes, and increasingly in hydrogen economy applications. Its unique catalytic properties also support medical diagnostics and targeted cancer therapy research....
APPLICATIONS
Ruthenium is used in wear-resistant electrical contacts, thick-film resistors, and as a capping layer for extreme ultraviolet photomasks in semiconductor lithography. It is also valued for its hard disk drive coatings and as a catalyst in chemical processes.
Ruthenium serves as an effective catalyst in the synthesis of ammonia and other vital chemicals, accelerating reactions without undergoing permanent chemical change. It is also used in electrochemical applications, such as electrolysis with iridium and catalytic wet air oxidation for treating industrial wastewater.
Ruthenium is used to improve the hardness and wear resistance of alloys, which are essential in the manufacturing of electrical contacts and other components requiring prolonged service life. It is also utilized for plating white gold in jewelry, enhancing its resistance to scratches and tarnish.
Ruthenium and its complexes are used in the determination of ferritin, calcitonin, and folate levels in the human body for disease diagnosis. It has potential in developing compounds for medical imaging and targeted cancer therapies due to its unique chemical properties.
Ruthenium is gaining attention for its potential in energy-transition applications, particularly in the hydrogen economy. Its unique properties make it suitable for various energy-related applications.
