	abstract = {<p>Ruthenium nanoparticle (NP)-decorated carbon dots (Ru/C-dots) were fabricated as a potential catalyst in the application of both oxidation and reduction. The photochemical method was used to synthesize Ru/C-dot nanohybrids. The as-prepared Ru/C-dots exhibited a core-shell-based nanochain structure, in which the spherical nature of C-dots further evolved to a layer structure to homogeneously encapsulate Ru NPs. Such Ru/C-dots have excellent catalytic properties, which were demonstrated in the oxidation of flavonoids and concomitantly reduction of inorganic complex and organic dyes, each yielding a high catalytic rate constant. We also proposed an appropriate catalytic mechanism for each reaction. Higher catalytic activity was achieved by the synergistic effect of the encapsulated Ru NPs and the C-dots layer. Further, this nanohybrid was successfully applied to inspect a real aqueous sample. We anticipated that Ru/C-dots nanohybrid may open up a broad platform for the design of efficient multifunctional catalysts. Copyright {\textcopyright} 2020 American Chemical Society.</p>
