Ruthenium is a hard, silvery platinum group metal used primarily in electronics and chemical applications. It enhances the properties of other metals when alloyed and is increasingly important in next-generation data storage.
Ruthenium is critical for data storage technology and is being researched for next-generation solar cells and fuel cells. Demand is driven primarily by Hard disk drive data storage layers, Electrical resistors and contacts, Chemical catalysis. Supply is concentrated in South Africa, Russia, Zimbabwe, so output disruptions or trade-policy shifts in those countries are the main long-run drivers of Ruthenium prices.
