Ruthenum yana daya daga cikin abubuwan platinum. Amfani mafi mahimmanci shine yin masu conlysts. Za'a iya amfani da Catalynals na Platinum-Ruthenium don catalyze mai sel mai methanol mai sel da kwayoyin carbon dioxide; Za a iya amfani da tsegumi mai ɗaukar hoto don amfani da kayan metathesis halayen. Bugu da kari, ana iya amfani da mahadi na ruthenium don kera lokacin fim mai tsayayya da hasken wuta a cikin sel na hasken rana.

Rutheniyanci wani nau'in mai daraja ne tare da aikin catalytic da aka yi amfani da shi a cikin halayen da yawa, kamar hydrogenation na hydrogenation da iskar shakkun. Baya ga halaye na ruthenium, wayoyi Nano-ruthenum suna da halayen Nano-kayan da kuma manyan wayoyi ".
