The synthesis of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) oil is the catalytic hydrogenation of CO to give a range of products, which can be used for the production of high-quality diesel fuel, gasoline and linear chemicals. This studied catalyst was prepared Cobalt-supported alumina and silica by the incipient wet impregnation of the nitrates of cobalt, promoter and organic solvent with supports. Cobalt catalysts were calcined at $350^{\circ}C$ before being loaded into the FT reactors. After the reduction of catalyst has been carried out under $450^{\circ}C$ for 24h, FT reaction of the catalyst has been carried out at GHSV of 4,000/hr under $200^{\circ}C$ and 20atm. From these experimental results, we have obtained the results as following; In case of $SiO_2$ catalysts, the activity of 12wt% $Cobalt-SiO_2$ synthesized by organic solvent was about 2 or 3 times higher than the activity of 12wt% $Cobalt-SiO_2$ catalyst synthesized without organic solvent. In particular, the activity of the $Cobalt-SiO_2$ catalyst prepared in the presence of an organic solvent P was two to three times higher than that of the $Cobalt-SiO_2$ catalyst prepared without the organic solvent. Effect of Cr and Cu metal as a promoter was found little. 200 h long-term activity test was performed with a $Co/SiO_2$ catalyst prepared in the presence of an organic solvent of Glyoxal solution.

The synthesis of Fischer-Tropsch oil is the catalytic hydrogenation of CO to give a range of products, which can be used for the production of high-quality diesel fuel, gasoline and linear chemicals. Our cobalt based catalyst was prepared Co/alumina, silica and titania by the incipient wet impregnation of the nitrates of cobalt and promoter with supports. Cobalt catalysts was calcined at $350^{\circ}C$ before being loaded into the FT reactors. After the reduction of catalyst has been carried out under $450^{\circ}C$ for 24hrs, FT reaction of the catalyst has been carried out at GHSV of 4,000/hr under $200^{\circ}C$ and 20atm. From these test results, we have obtained the results as following ; in case of 12wt% Co-supported $Al_2O_3$, $SiO_2$ and $TiO_2$ catalysts, maximum activities of the catalysts were appeared at the promoters of Mn, Mo and Ce respectively. The activity of 12wt% $Co/Al_2O_3$ added a Mn promoter was about 3 times as high as that of 12wt% $Co/Al_2O_3$ catalyst without promoters. When it has been the experiment at the range of reaction temperature of $200{\sim}220^{\circ}C$ and GHSV of 1,546~5,000/hr, the results have shown generally increasing the activities with the increase of reaction temperature and GHSV.

The commercialization of rechargeable metal-air batteries is extremely desirable but designing stable oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts with non-noble metal still has faced challenges to replace platinum-based catalysts. The nonnoble metal catalysts for ORR were prepared to improve the catalytic performance and stability by the thermal decomposition of ZIF-8 with optimum cobalt loading. The porous carbon was obtained by the calcination of ZIF-8 and different loading amounts of Co nanoparticles were anchored onto porous carbon forming a Co/PC catalyst. Co/PC composite shows a significant increase in the ORR value of current and stability (500 h) due to the good electronic conductive PCN support and optimum cobalt metal loading. The significantly improved catalytic performance is ascribed to the chemical structure, synergistic effects, porous carbon networks, and rich active sites. This method develops a new pathway for a highly active and advantageous catalyst for electrochemical devices.

In response to the threats of global warming and climate change, the development of highly energy-efficient lean methane oxidation processes has become crucial. One promising technology is ozone-induced lean methane oxidation (O₃-LMO), which utilizes ozone as an oxidant and a transition metal-loaded zeolite as a catalyst. Our previous study demonstrated that the O₃-LMO system, employing a cobalt-exchanged BEA (Co-BEA) catalyst, effectively abates lean methane (500 ppm) at low temperatures below 200℃ under dry conditions. In this study, we investigated the effect of water vapors on the performance of Co-BEA-based O₃-LMO system. The results indicated that CH₄ conversion, CO₂ selectivity, and O₃ utilization efficiency of the system were not significantly affected by water vapors. Additionally, any temporary suppression of activity could be easily reversed through simple vacuum drying of the catalyst. The system maintained robust activity for over 18 hours during prolonged testing under wet conditions.

The synthesis of Fischer-Tropsch oil is the catalytic hydrogenation of CO to give a range of products, which can be used for the production of high-quality diesel fuel, gasoline and linear chemicals. Our cobalt catalyst was prepared Co/alumina, Co/silica and Co/titania by the incipient wetness impregnation of the nitrates of cobalt with supports. Co-based catalysts was calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ before being loaded into the FT reactors. After the reduction of catalyst has carried out under $450^{\circ}C$, FT reaction of the catalyst has carried out at GHSV of 4,000 under $200^{\circ}C$ and 20atm. From test results, the order of increasing activity for the catalyst was Co/alumina > Co/silica > Co/titania. When the content of Co metal such as 5, 12, 20 and 30wt% was changed, an CO conversion increased as the content of Co metal increased. The activity of catalyst has obtained the best value at 12wt% Co content.

Optimal preparation guidelines of a cathode catalyst layer by non-precious metal catalysts were evaluated based on electrochemical performance in single-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Experiments for catalyst loading rate revealed that iron(II) phthalocyanine (FePc) can be a promising alternative, comparable to platinum (Pt) and cobalt tetramethoxyphenylporphyrin (CoTMPP), including effects of substrate concentration. Results showed that using an optimal FePc loading of $1mg/cm^2$ was equivalent to a Pt loading of $0.35mg/cm^2$ on the basis of maximum power density. Given higher loading rates or substrate concentrations, FePc proved to be a better alternative for Pt than CoTMPP. Under the optimal loading rate, it was further revealed that 40 wt% of FePc to carbon support allowed for the best power generation. These results suggest that proper control of the non-precious metal catalyst layer and substrate concentration are highly interrelated, and reveal how those combinations promote the economic power generation of single-chamber MFCs.

이산화탄소를 수소와 일산화탄소로 전환시키는 이산화탄소 건조 개질반응은 대표적인 흡열반응이며 열역학적으로 불리한 반응으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 높은 열적 내구성과 수명 최적화에 적합한 귀금속계 촉매 개발 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나 경제적인 어려움을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $Co/SiO_2$ 촉매에 Pt (0.02~0.2 wt%)와 La (2~20 wt%)을 각각 담지시켜 이산화탄소 건조 개질반응을 통해 우수한 활성과 경제적인 사용을 할 수 있는 함량을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그 결과, 0.04 wt% Pt 또는 9 wt% La을 담지하였을 경우에 각각 57%와 55%의 가장 높은 활성도를 보여주었다. 촉매 특성화에 의하여 0.04 wt% Pt와 9 wt% La이 첨가된 촉매의 코발트 입자 크기는 이 연구에서 가장 작은 입자 크기를 가진다는 것을 확인하였다. 그러므로 코발트의 입자 크기가 Pt와 La의 함량 때문에 촉매의 안정성과 반응성에 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Air stable nanoparticles were prepared from cobalt sulphate using tetra butyl ammonium bromide as surfactant and sodium borohydride as reductant at room temperature. The cobalt nanocolloids in aqueous medium were found to be efficient catalysts for the degradation of toxic organic dyes. Our present study involves degradation of Methylene Blue and Rhodamine-B using cobalt nanoparticles and easy recovery of the catalyst from the system. The recovered nanoparticles could be recycled several times without loss of catalytic activity. Palladium nanoparticles prepared from palladium chloride and the same surfactant were found to degrade the organic dyes effectively but lose their catalytic activity after recovery. The cause of dye colour discharge by nanocolloids has been assigned based on our experimental findings.

이 연구는 환원 온도 변화가 코발트-망간(CM) 기반 촉매의 구조와 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하며, 이산화탄소(CO₂)의 직접 수소화 반응에서 촉매의 역할에 중점을 두고 있다. CM 촉매는 350 ℃의 환원 온도에서 CO₂를 장쇄 탄화수소로 성공적으로 전환하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 이러한 효율은 촉매의 코어-쉘 구조가 제공하는 최적의 조건에 기인하며, 이는 역수성가스전환(Reverse Water-Gas Shift, RWGS)과 피셔-트롭쉬(Fischer-Tropsch, FT) 반응을 모두 효과적으로 반응한다. 그러나 환원 온도가 섭씨 600 ℃까지 상승하면 이러한 효과적인 반응 과정이 방해받아 메탄으로 선택성이 전환된다. 이러한 변화는 고온에서 촉매의 표면이 과도하게 환원되어 RWGS 부위가 감소하고 결과적으로 CO 생성이 억제되기 때문에 발생한다. 이러한 연구 결과는 코발트 기반 촉매의 설계 및 최적화에서 환원 온도를 제어하는 것이 중요하다는 점을 강조하며 환원 온도조절을 통한 RWGS와 FT 반응 간의 균형 잡힌 상호 작용을 유지하는 것이 중요하다.

In the present work, a new approach is proposed for via interconnects of semiconductor devices, where multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are used instead of conventional metals. In order to implement a selective growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for via interconnect, the buried catalyst method is selected which is the most compatible with semiconductor processes. The cobalt catalyst for CNT growth is pre-deposited before via hole patterning, and to achieve the via etch stop on the thin catalyst layer (ca. 3nm), a novel 2-step etch scheme is designed; the first step is a conventional oxide etch while the second step chemically etches the silicon nitride layer to lower the damage of the catalyst layer. The results show that the 2-step etch scheme is a feasible candidate for the realization of CNT interconnects in conventional semiconductor devices.
