 note = {Ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs) supported on graphene nanosheets (GNS), a composite (Ru/GNS), were prepared by a dry synthesis method and were used as nanocatalysts for the aerial oxidation of various primary alcohols. Ru/GNS was highly efficient, selective, stable and heterogeneous in nature. Owing to the high stability of the used catalyst (u-Ru/GNS), it was further applied in a different catalytic system viz photocatalytic degradation, after suitable modifications. We have obtained a novel TiO2/u-RuO2/GNS catalyst from u-Ru/GNS by the sol-gel method. The catalytic activity of TiO2/u-RuO2/GNS toward the photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) and acridine orange (AO) was found to be excellent. Overall, the sustainable use of these recyclable materials (Ru/GNS and TiO2/u-RuO2/GNS) could lead to economic and environmental benefits., Reaction Kinetics, Mechanisms and Catalysis. 115(2):759-772 (2015)},
