Ruthenium (IV) oxide is being used as the main component in the catalyst of the Sumitomo-Deacon process which produces chlorine by the oxidation of hydrogen chloride. Oxide compounds are not conductive to electricity. Full conversion of RuO 2 n H 2 O to the RuO 2 phase by post reduction in a hydrogen atmosphere leads to improved conductivity and corrosion stability. Highly conductive ruthenium oxide (RuO 2) thin films were prepared by a low-temperature solution process combined with green laser annealing (GLA). The process allowed production of RuO 2 films at a low temperature of 250 °C. However, certain perovskite structured oxides are electronically conductive finding application in the cathode of solid oxide fuel cells and oxygen generation systems. The process temperature was as low as 250 °C, compatible to flexible substrates.Green laser annealing realized surface heating and effective sintering of RuO,We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads.

GLA led to effective sintering of the film, significantly improving crystallinity and film density and resulting in joining between grains, and consequently, the conductivity … By continuing you agree to the.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors.ScienceDirect ® is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V.Highly conductive ruthenium oxide thin films by a low-temperature solution process and green laser annealing.Copyright © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Ruthenium oxide powders exhibit higher corrosion stability compared to carbon.
