Ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru NPs) have attracted much attention because of their potential applications in catalytic hydrogenation and oxidation reactions. The broad spectrum of applications of ruthenium in catalysis, notably together with its relatively low price, render Ru NPs an attractive alternative to platinum or rhodium. Ru NPs also have the potential to act as efficient heterogeneous olefin metathesis catalysts and may lead to the production of unique composite materials with electrical and optical properties if the Ru is embedded inside a conductive organic polymer matrix.
