title: Silica supported ruthenium oxide nanoparticulates as efficient catalysts for water oxidation.
abstract: Pre-synthesized ruthenium dioxide nanoparticulates (RuO(2) NPs) with low level of aggregation were well dispersed in mesoporous silica SBA-15. As a catalyst for water oxidation, the supported RuO(2) NPs exhibit excellent catalytic activity and recyclability. The initial turnover frequency (TOF) is to date the highest among comparable RuO(2) catalysts.
