We report a facile and general approach for preparing ultrafine ruthenium nanocatalysts by using a plasma‐assisted synthesis at <100 °C. The resulting Ru nanoparticles are monodispersed (typical size 2 nm) and remain that way upon loading onto carbon and TiO 2 supports. This gives robust catalysts with excellent activities in both organosilane oxidation and the oxygen evolution reaction.
