They are formed due to the random self-assembly of Ru seeds of similar to 3.5 nm size. These 1D nanostructures exhibit better catalytic activity towards the oxidation of CO relative to the similar to 3.5 nmseeds and 6 nm Ru nanospheres. The synthesis strategy adopted here is found to be simple, facile and environmentally friendly.</p>1 aSreedhala, S.1 aVinod, C., P.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/surfactant-assisted-formation-ruthenium-nanochains-under-mild-conditions-and-their-0
