The base-catalysed carbonato or oxalato ring opening of cis-${\beta}-[Co(3,2,3,-tet))CO_3\;or\;C_2O_4)]^+$(3,2,3-tet=4,7-diazadecane-1,10-diamine, $C_2O_4$=oxalate) has been investigated in aqueous solution and in mixed aqueous-organic solvent. The rearrangement of 3,2,3-tet and carbonato or oxalato ring opening of cis-${\beta}-[Co(3,2,3,-tet))CO_3\;or\;C_2O_4)]^+$ occurred via the dissociation of one of the two coordinating carbonato or oxalato oxygen atoms. The resulting product was cis-${\alpha}-[Co(3,2,3-tet)(OH)(OCO_2\;or\;OC_2O_3)_3].$ It has been suggested that the base-catalysed reaction of cis-${\beta}-[Co(3,2,3,-tet))CO_3\;or\;C_2O_4)]^+$ takes place via the Dcb(dissociative conjugated base) mechanism. The other oxygen atom of carbonato or oxalato was dissociated continuously to give cis-${\alpha}-[Co(3,2,3-tet)(OH)_2]^+.$ Cis-${\alpha}-[Co(3,2,3-tet)(OH)_2]^+$ was isomerized to cis-${\beta}-[Co(3,2,3-tet)(OH)_2]^+.$

Oxides of the form Mn$_{4}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-NiO-ZnO present properties that make them useful as power NTC thermistor for current limited. Electrical properties of Mn$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-NiO-ZnO power NTC thermistor such as I-V characteristics tim constant activation energy and heat dissipation coefficient measured as a function of temperature and composition. In Mn$_{4}$/O$_{4}$-CuO-Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$-NiO-ZnO system with the 5wt% addition of Co$_{3}$/O$_{4}$ it can be seen that resistivity and B-constant were increased as the ratio of ZnO/Mn$_{3}$/O$_{4}$ was increased. Heat dissipation constant, I-V characteristics and time constant showed similar behaviour compared with those of conventional thermistors. In particular resistance change ratio ($\Delta$R) the important factor for reliability varied within $\pm$5% indicating the compositions of these products could be available for power thermistor.

Synthesizing behavior and microstructural evolution of $CaZrO_3$and $m-ZrO_2$in a thermal reaction process of $ZrSiO_4$-$xCaCO_3$mixtures, where x is 7 and 19, were investigated to determine the addition amount of CaO in CaO:$ZrO_2$:$SiO_2$ternary composition. CaZrO$_3$-Ca$_2$SiO$_4$precursor prepared by the mixture of $ZrSiO_4$and CaCO$_3$in aqueous suspending media was controlled to the acidic (pH=4.0) condition with HCI solution to enhance the thermal reaction. The addition amount of dispersant into the $ZrSiO_4$-$xCaCO_3$slip increased with increasing mole ratio of $CaCO_3$, which was associated with the viscosity of slip. Decarbonation reaction was activated with an increase of the addition amount of $CaCO_3$, showing different final temperatures in $ZrSiO_4$-$7CaCO_3$and $ZrSiO_4$-$19CaCO_3$mixtures as about 980 and 116$0^{\circ}C$, respectively, for finishing decarbonation reaction. The grain morphology was changed to spherical shape for all samples with an increase of sintering temperature. The grain size and phase composition of the synthesized composites depended on the mixture ratio of Zrsi04 and CacO3 powders, indicating that the main crystals were m-ZrO2 ($\leq$3 $\mu\textrm{m}$) and $CaZrO_3$ ($\leq$ 7 $\mu\textrm{m}$) in $ZrSiO_4$$>-7CaCO_3$and $ZrSiO_4$-$19CaCO_3$mixtures, respectively.

Porous $Co_3O_4$ spheres with bimodal pore distribution (size: 2-3 nm and ~ 30 nm) were prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis of aqueous droplets containing Co-acetate and polyethylene glycol (PEG), while dense $Co_3O_4$ secondary particles with monomodal pore distribution (size: 2-3 nm) were prepared from the spray solution without PEG. The formation of mesopores (~ 30 nm) was attributed to the decomposition of PEG. The responses of a porous $Co_3O_4$ sensor to various indoor air pollutants such as 5 ppm $C_2H_5OH$, xylene, toluene, benzene, and HCHO at $200^{\circ}C$ were found to be significantly higher than those of a commercial sensor using $Co_3O_4$ and dense $Co_3O_4$ secondary particles. Enhanced gas response of porous $Co_3O_4$ sensor was attributed to high surface area and the effective diffusion of analyte gas through mesopores (~ 30 nm). Highly sensitive porous $Co_3O_4$ sensor can be used to monitor various indoor air pollutants.

$In_2O_3$ nanowires were coated with $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles to investigate the improvement of ethanol gas sensing performance compared with as-synthesized $In_2O_3$ nanowires. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the nanowires synthesized by VLS mechanism had diameters and lengths of approximately 50-100 nm and a few micrometers, respectively. $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles produced by hydrothermal method was in the size range of a few to a few tens nm. As-synthesized and $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles coated $In_2O_3$ nanowires sensors exhibited responses of 1.96% and 4.57%, respectively for the ethanol gas concentration of 200 ppm at $200^{\circ}C$. The underlying mechanism for the improved responses of $Co_3O_4$ nanoparticles coated $In_2O_3$ nanowires sensors is discussed.

An all solid-state thin film supercapacitor (TFSC) with Co$_3$O$_4$/LiPON/Co$_3$O$_4$ structure was fabricated on Pt/Ti/Si substrate using Co$_3$O$_4$ thin film electrode. Each Co$_3$O$_4$ film was grown by reactive dc reactive magnetron sputtering with increasing $O_2$/[Ar+O$_2$] ratio. Amorphous LiPON electrolyte film was deposited on Co$_3$O$_4$/Pt/Ti/Si in pure nitrogen ambient by using reactive rf magnetron sputtering. The electrochemical behavior of the Co$_3$O$_4$/LiPON/Co$_3$O$_4$ multi-layer structures exhibits a behavior of a bulk-type supercapacitor, even though much lower capacity (from 5 to 25 mF/$\textrm{cm}^2$-$\mu\textrm{m}$) than that of the bulk one. It was found that the TFSC showed a fairly constant discharge capacity with a constant current of 50 $\mu\textrm{A}/\textrm{cm}^2$ at the cut-off voltage 0-2V during 400 cycles. It is shown that the electrochemical behavior of the Co$_3$O$_4$/LiPON/Co$_3$O$_4$ TFSC is dependent upon the sputtering gas ratio. The capacity dependency of electrode films on different gas ratios was explained by different structural, electrical, and surfacical properties.

Activated magnetite ($Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$) was applied to reducing $CO_2$ gas emissions to avoid greenhouse effects. Wet and dry methods were developed as a $CO_2$ removal process. One of the typical dry methods is $CO_2$ decomposition using activated magnetite ($Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$). Generally, $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ is manufactured by reduction of $Fe_3O_4$ by $H_2$ gas. This process has an explosion risk. Therefore, a non-explosive process to make $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ was studied using $FeC_2O_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ and $N_2$. $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ and $(NH_4)_2C_2O_4{\cdot}H_2O$ were used as starting materials. So, ${\alpha}-FeC_2O_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ was synthesized by precipitation method. During the calcination process, $FeC_2O_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ was decomposed to $Fe_3O_4$, CO, and $CO_2$. The specific surface area of the activated magnetite varied with the calcination temperature from 15.43 $m^2/g$ to 9.32 $m^2/g$. The densities of $FeC_2O_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ and $Fe_3O_4$ were 2.28 g/$cm^3$ and 5.2 g/$cm^3$, respectively. Also, the $Fe_3O_4$ was reduced to $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ by CO. From the TGA results in air of the specimen that was calcined at $450^{\circ}C$ for three hours in $N_2$ atmosphere, the ${\delta}$-value of $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ was estimated. The ${\delta}$-value of $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ was 0.3170 when the sample was heat treated at $400^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours and 0.6583 when the sample was heat treated at $450^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ was oxidized to $Fe_3O_4$ when $Fe_3O_{4-{\delta}}$ was reacted with $CO_2$ because $CO_2$ is decomposed to C and $O_2$.

It has been found that both of the iridium (Ⅰ) complexes, Ir$(ClO_4$)(AN)(CO)$(Ph_3P)_2$(AN = $CH_2$CHCN, $Ph_3P = (C_6H_5)_3$P) and [Ir(AN)(CO)$(Ph_3P)_2]ClO_4$, react with $Cl^-$ to give IrCl(AN)(CO)$(Ph_3P)_2$, and [Ir(AN)(CO)$(Ph_3P)_2]ClO_4$ dissociates AN to yield Ir$(ClO_4)(CO)(Ph_3P)_2$ in the absence of excess AN added, and Ir$(ClO_4)(CO)(Ph_3P)_2$ reacts with $Cl^-$ to produce IrCl(CO)$(Ph_3P)_2$. It is suggested that the catalytic polymerization of AN with Ir$(ClO_4)(AN)(CO)(Ph_3P)_2$ proceeds through the formation of [(CO)(Ph_3P)_2$Ir(-CH=CHCN)(H)($CH_2$=CHCN)]Cl$O_4$ followed by the formation of iridium(alkyl)(alkenyl) type complex which undergoes a reductive elimination to produce the polymer of acrylonitrile.

$TiO_2$- and $SiO_2$-supported $Co_3O_4$, Pt and $Co_3O_4$-Pt catalysts have been studied for CO and $C_3H_8$ oxidations at temperatures less than $250^{\circ}C$ which is a lower limit of light-off temperatures to oxidize them during emission test cycles of gasoline-fueled automotives with TWCs (three-way catalytic converters) consisting mainly of Pt, Pd and Rh. All the catalysts after appropriate activation such as calcination at $350^{\circ}C$ and reduction at $400^{\circ}C$ exhibited significant dependence on both their preparation techniques and supports upon CO oxidation at chosen temperatures. A Pt/$TiO_2$ catalyst prepared by using an ion-exchange method (IE) has much better activity for such CO oxidation because of smaller Pt nanoparticles, compared to a supported Pt obtained via an incipient wetness (IW). Supported $Co_3O_4$-only catalysts are very active for CO oxidation even at $100^{\circ}C$, but the use of $TiO_2$ as a support and the IW technique give the best performances. These effects on supports and preparation methods were indicated for $Co_3O_4$-Pt catalysts. Based on activity profiles of CO oxidation at $100^{\circ}C$ over a physical mixture of supported Pt and $Co_3O_4$ after activation under different conditions, and typical light-off temperatures of CO and unburned hydrocarbons in common TWCs as tested for $C_3H_8$ oxidation at $250^{\circ}C$ with a Pt-exchanged $SiO_2$ catalyst, this study may offer an useful approach to substitute $Co_3O_4$ for a part of platinum group metals, particularly Pt, thereby lowering the usage of the precious metals.

This study was conducted to research the formation and the color development of CoO-ZnO-Fe2O3-TiO2-SnO2 system for the purpose of synthesizing the spinel pigments which are stable at high temperature. After preparing CoO-ZnO-Fe2O3, in which CoO causes the color, as a basic composition, $\chi$CoO.(1-$\chi$)ZnO.Fe2O3 system, $\chi$CoO.(1-$\chi$)ZnO.TiO2 system and $\chi$CoO.(1-$\chi$)ZnO.SnO2 system were prepared with $\chi$=0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0 mole ratio respectively. The manufacturing was carried out at 128$0^{\circ}C$ for 90 minutes. These specimens were analyzed by the reflectance measurement and the X-ray diffraction analysis and the results were summarized as follows: 1. All of the specimens formed the spinel structure and were colored with stable yellow or blue. 2. As the content of CoO and Fe2O3 in the specimens being increased, the reflectance of each specimen was measured becoming lower and the colors were changed from yellow to greyish blue and from blue to dark blue. 3. As the substituting amount of Co2+ ion for Zn2+ ion in $\chi$CoO-ZnO-TiO2-SnO2 system being increased, the colors were changed from blue to greyish blue. The colors were changed from yellow to grayish green owing to the tetrahedral Co2+ ions being increased, the octahedral Co2+ ions being decreased with increasing the amount of Sn4+ ions. 4. CoO-ZnO-Fe2O3-TiO2-SnO2 system, in which Zn2+ was substituted with Co2+ and Fe3+ was substituted with Ti4+ and Sn4+, easily formed the spinel structure without regard to the amount of substitution or the ion owing to the selectivity of the coordination number: 4 of Zn2+, 4 of Co2+, 6 of Fe3+ or 6 of Ti4+ and Sn4+.
