Abstract

The author reports the first discovery of pure face-centered cubic (fcc) Ru nanoparticles. Although the fcc structure does not exist in the bulk Ru phase diagram, fcc Ru was obtained at room temperature (RT) because of the nanosize effect. The author succeeded in separately synthesizing uniformly sized nanoparticles of both fcc and hcp Ru having a diameter from 2 to 5.5 nm by simple chemical reduction methods with different metal precursors. Both of the prepared fcc and hcp nanoparticles were supported on γ-Al2O3, and their catalytic activity in CO oxidation was investigated. The catalytic activity of the Ru nanoparticles in CO oxidation depends on their structure and size.
