General description

Ruthenium oxide is an inorganic compound widelyused as electrode material due to its high thermodynamic and chemicalstability. It is also used in supercapacitor applications because of its widepotential window for reversible redox reactions and a long-life cycle.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives. This is an enabling product and can be used as a precursor to make perovskite oxides, which promote thermoelectric heat-to-electricity conversion, improving energy efficiency.
