Ruthenium metal nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution have been synthesised via a solvothermal method. The solids were characterised using a range of analytical techniques (XRD, TEM, TPD, and XPS) and tested in the C[O.sub.2]+[H.sub.2]O reaction under simulated solar radiation, showing photo...
