Since the launch of the Herschel Space Observatory, our understanding about the photo-dissociation regions (PDR) has taken a step forward. In the bandwidth of the Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) of the Spectral and Photometric Imaging REceiver (SPIRE) on board Herschel, ten CO rotational transitions, including J = 4 - 3 to J = 13 - 12, and three fine structure lines, including [$C{\small{I}}$] 609, [$C{\small{I}}$] 370, and [$N{\small{II}}$] $205{\mu}m$, are covered. I present our findings from the FTS observations at the nuclear region of M83, based on the spatially resolved physical parameters derived from the CO spectral line energy distribution (SLED) map and the comparisons with the dust properties and star-formation tracers. This article discusses (1) the potential of using [$N{\small{II}$] 205 and [$C{\small{I}}$] $370{\mu}m$ as star-formation tracers; (2) the excitation mechanisms of warm CO in the nuclear region of M83.

Effects of $Ca(OH)_2$ concentration (0.16~0.64 wt%), surfactant concentration (2~16 wt%), total volumetric flow rate (3~6 L/min) and $CO_2$ volume fraction $(0.3{\sim}0.6)$ on morphology, crystal structure, mean particle diameter, aggregation and specific surface area of the precipitated $CaCO_3$ were investigated in the slurry bubble column reactor. Experiments were carried out in acrylic reactor ($0.11\;m-ID{\times}1.0\;m-high$) with a internal tube ($0.04\;m-ID{\times}1.0\;m-high$h). The reaction time of $CaCO_3$ synthesis decreased with adding Dispex N40 of the anionic surfactant. The reaction rate of $Ca(OH)_2$ increased with increasing the volumetric flow rate of $CO_2$. From SEM images, the single crystal of $CaCO_3$ increased with increasing the reaction rate in the saturated concentration of $Ca(OH)_2$ (0.16 wt %) and the concentration of Dispex N40 (2 wt%). The mean particle size of $CaCO_3$ varied with adding Dispex N40. In addition, the specific surface area of $CaCO_3$ increased with adding of surfactant (2 wt%) from $35m^2/g$ to $44m^2/g$ at the volumetric flow rate of $CO_2$ (0.9 L/min) and the concentration of $Ca(OH)_2$(0.64 wt %).

One of the main challenges of electrochemical water splitting technology is to develop a high performance, low cost oxygen-evolving electrode capable of substituting a noble metal catalyst, Ir or Ru based catalyst. In this work, CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles with sub-44 nmsize of a inverse spinel structure for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) were synthesized by the injection of KNO₃ and NaOH solution to a preheated CoSO₄ and Fe(NO₃)₃ solution. The synthesis time of CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles was controlled to control particle and crystallite size. When the synthesis time was 6 h, CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles had high conductivity and electrochemical surface area. The overpotential at current denstiy of 10 mA/㎠ and Tafel slope of CoFe₂O₄ (6h) were 395 mV and 52 mV/dec, respectively. In addition, the catalyst showed excellent durability for 18 hours at 10 mA/㎠.

In order to improve the capacity and cycling stability of Ni-rich NCA cathode materials for lithium ion batteries, the boron and cobalt were doped in commercial $Li_{1.06}Ni_{0.91}Co_{0.08}Al_{0.01}O_2$ (NCA) powders. Commercial NCA particles are mixed composites such as secondary particles of about $5{\mu}m$ and $12{\mu}m$, and the particle size was decreased by doping boron and cobalt. The initial discharge capacities of the boron and cobalt doped NCA-B and NCA-Co were found to be 214 mAh/g and 200 mAh/g, respectively, which are higher values than that of the raw NCA cathode material. In particular, NCA-Co exhibits the best discharge capacity of 157 mAh/g after 20 cycles, which is probably due to the enhanced diffusion of lithium ion by crystal growth along with the c-axis direction.

P/M high speed steels with various Co contents were fabricated by gas atomization and Canning/HIP process. As Co content in P/M high speed steel increased, hardness, transverse rupture strength and yield strength in compressive testing increased due to solid solution hardening of Co in matrix. Especially, PM high speed steels with Co have high deformation resistance to repeated compressive loading.

Tetradentate Schiff base cobalt(II) complexes such as $Co(II)_2-N$, N-bis(salicylidene)-m-phenylendiimine; [$Co(II)_2(SMPD)_2(H_2O)_4$] and $Co(II)_2-N$, N-bis(salicylidene)-p-phenylendiimine: [$Co(II)_2(SPPD)_2(H_2O)_4$], and oxygen adducted cobalt (III) complexes such as [$Co(III)_2O_2(SMPD)_2(Py)_2$] and [$Co(III)_2O_2(SPPD)_2(Py)_2$] in pyridine solutions were synthesized. It was identified that the oxygen adducted cobalt(III) complexes have hexacoordinated octahedral configuration with pyridine and oxygen from the measurement of elemental analysis, AA, IR spectra, and TGA. The redox processes were investigated for the oxygen adducted complexes in 0.1M TEAP-pyridine solution, using cyclic voltammetry on the glassy carbon electrode. The redox processes of oxygen adducted Co(III) complexes result in $$[Co(III)_2-O_2-CO(III)]\rightarrow^{e^-}[Co(III)-O_2-Co(II)]\rightarrow^{e^-}[Co(II)-O_2-Co(II)]\rightleftarrows^{e^-}[Co(II)+Co(II)+O_2{\cdot}^-]\rightleftarrows^{e^-}[Co(II)+Co(I)+O_2{\cdot}^-]\rightleftarrows^{e^-}[Co(I)+Co(I)+O_2{\cdot}^-]$$.

Dry sliding wear behavior of electro-pressure sintered Co, $Co-20\;wt.\%$ CuSn and $Co-20\;wt.\%$ WC composites were investigated. Wear tests of the materials were carried out using a pin-on-disk wear tester at various loads of 10N-100N under a constant sliding speed condition of 0.38m/s against glass ($83\%\;SiO_2$) beads. Sliding distances were varied with a range of $100m{\sim}600m$. A scanning electron microscopy was used to examine morphologies of worn surfaces, cross-sections, and wear debris. The $Co-20\;wt.\%$ WC composite had the highest and the $Co-20\;wt.\%$ CuSn composite showed the lowest wear resistance among the tested materials. All specimens exhibited low friction coefficients ranging from 0.12 to 0.4 at the applied load of 100N.

The effect of Co addition on the electrochemical performance and structural stability of porous Ni anode for molten carbonate fuel cell(MCFC) was evaluated by the anodic polarization and the sintering test in the simulated MCFC anode condition ($650^{\circ}C$, 80% $H_2$+20%$CO_2$). The anode current density ranged from 110mA/$cm^2$ to 144mA/$cm^2$ was obtained at +100mV overpotential by additions of Co up to 10 wt.%. The sintering resistance of Ni-Co anodes was higher than that of the pure Ni anode. The increase of sintering resistance seemed to be to the lower diffusion coefficient of Co than that of Ni.

Dry sliding wear behavior of electro-pressure sintered Co-Fe, Co-Ni and Co-Fe-Ni compacts was investigated. Pin-on-disk wear tests were performed on the sintered compacts disk specimens against alumina $(Al_2O_3)$ and silica $(SiO_2)$ ball counterparts at various loads ranging from 3N to 12N. Two sliding speeds of 0.1m/sec and 0.2m/sec and a fixed sliding distance of 1,000m were employed. Worn surfaces and cross sections of them were examined by a scanning electron microscopy, and wear mechanism of the compacts was investigated. Effects of the oxide layer that was formed on wearing surface of the compacts on the wear were also studied.
