· Ru1 O2

Ruthenium dioxide (RuO₂) is a ceramic semiconductor compound combining ruthenium metal with oxygen, belonging to the transition metal oxide family. It is primarily employed in electrochemical applications including electrodes for water electrolysis, chlor-alkali processes, and electrochemical sensing, where its high electronic conductivity and corrosion resistance in acidic and oxidizing environments provide significant advantages over conventional materials. RuO₂ is also investigated for catalytic and resistive heating applications; while expensive compared to alternatives, its chemical stability and electrochemical performance in demanding aqueous environments make it the material of choice in industrial-scale electrocatalysis.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
