Screen printed carbon electrodes (SPEs) modified with co-immobilized osmium-based redox polymers can be used to apply multi-detecting biosensors. In this study, we report our initial studies of multi-detecting biosensor concepts using two osmium-based redox polymers for horseradish peroxidase-mediated reduction of ${H_2}{O_2}$ coupled to glucose oxidase-mediated oxidation of glucose. We target to synthesize two osmium redox polymers of potentials use, a chloride-containing redox polymer ($E^{O'}$ + 0.520 vs. Ag/AgCl) and a methoxy-containing redox polymer $E^{O'}$ + 0.150 vs. Ag/AgCl). The former show good catalytic electrical signals with horseradish peroxidase and the latter's redox polymer is to be an effective redox mediator of glucose oxidation by glucose oxidase.

The catalytic ammoxidation of methylpyrazine into cyanopyrazine over a supported vanadium oxides catalyst on ${\gamma}$-alumina was studied in a continuous-flow fixed bed reactor. Various crystalline phases of vanadium oxides were obtained depending on reduction temperatures. And also the activities for the reaction of methylpyrazine into cyanopyrazine were affected by their major oxidation states of the corresponding crystalline phases. The 10${\%}$ vanadium oxides loaded ${\gamma}$-alumina catalyst, which was reduced at 600$^{\circ}C$ under the hydrogen flow for 2 hours, showed the highest activity and the highest selectivity on cyanopyrazine in the ammoxidation of methylpyrazine.Its major crystalline phase was V$_2$O$_3$ with the presence of V$_6$O$_{13}$ and V$_2$O$_4$(VO$_2$) together. And this coexistance seemed to enhance the activity.

This study presents the effect of CO in flue gas on the $H_2$ SCR by Pt/$TiO_2$ catalyst. Coexisting CO which has characteristics of competitive adsorption with $H_2$ as a reductant on the active sites showed the decrease of catalytic activity. Competitive adsorption with NO, CO and $H_2$ also caused the reduction of activity and $H_2$, CO slip simultaneously. With increasing the inlet CO concentration, such phenomenon became more pronounced. Adding $PdO_2$ and $CeO_2$ on the catalyst to avoid the inhibition by coexisting CO, $CeO_2$ added catalyst exhibited the durability against CO which fed 100 ppm under.

In this study, the effect of characteristics of colloidal silica, which was used as an additive in the compression/coating catalyst process, on activities and thermal stabilities of the catalysts was investigated. The shape, size, specific surface area and porosity, and composition of four different types of colloidal silica materials were analyzed, and the NOx conversion of V₂O₅/TiO₂ catalyst prepared by these colloidal silica were studied. Properties of the catalysts prepared by colloidal silica depend on the nature of the colloidal silica used, in particular the alkaline substances such as Na in the silica were evaluated to be directly effect on the deNOx conversion of the catalyst. In addition, higher silica contents in the colloidal silica were found to improve the deNOx activity and thermal stability of the catalyst.

Modified dip-coating method 8.3 times shorten in solution volume-coated and 83.3 times in coating time than existing dip-coating method. Coating weight increased nearly 2~3 times. So modified dip-coating method is evaluated that it is economic and has a efficiency. When we make an experiment in coated $LaCoO_3$ on ceramic monolith in modified dip-coating method which use 2 coating applications with relative viscosity $0.006202kg{\cdot}m/sec$, it showed a superior reaction at 88.56mg per ceramic unit gram in NO-CO reaction(optimum coating amount). When we make an experiment in the same size of ceramic filter cell with different conditions 100, 200cell per square inch, the result in low temperature($200^{\circ}C{\sim}350^{\circ}C$), 200cell3 per square inch is 6~23% higher in NO reduction and 11% in CO oxidation than 100cell per square inch. It is because the more the number of cells in the ceramic filter increase, the more catalytic surface area is expanded.

Nanomaterials have considerable potential to solve several key challenges in various electrochemical devices, such as fuel cells. However, the use of nanoparticles in high-temperature devices like solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is considered problematic because the nanostructured surface typically prepared by deposition techniques may easily coarsen and thus deactivate, especially when used in high-temperature redox conditions. Herein we report the synthesis of a self-regenerated Pd metal nanoparticle on the perovskite oxide anode surface for SOFCs that exhibit self-recovery from their degradation in redox cycle and $CH_4$ fuel running. Using Pd-doped perovskite, $La(Sr)Fe(Mn,Pd)O_3$, as an anode, fairly high maximum power densities of 0.5 and $0.2cm^{-2}$ were achieved at 1,073 K in $H_2$ and $CH_4$ respectively, despite using thick electrolyte support-type cell. Long-term stability was also examined in $CH_4$ and the redox cycle, when the anode is exposed to air. The cell with Pd-doped perovskite anode had high tolerance against re-oxidation and recovered the behavior of anodic performance from catalytic degradation. This recovery of power density can be explained by the surface segregation of Pd nanoparticles, which are self-recovered via re-oxidation and reduction. In addition, self-recovery of the anode by oxidation treatment was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Mankind is enjoying a great convenience of their life by the rapid growth of secondary industry since the Industrial Revolution and it is possible due to the invention of huge power such as engine. The automobile which plays the important role of industrial development and human movement is powered by the Engine Module, and especially Diesel engine is widely used because of mechanical durability and energy efficiency. The main work mechanism of the Diesel engine is composed of inhalation of the organic material (coal, oil, etc.), combustion, explosion and exhaust Cycle process then the carbon compound emissions during the last exhaust process are essential which is known as the major causes of air pollution issues in recent years. In particular, COx, called carbon oxide compound which is composed of a very small size of the particles from several ten to hundred nano meter and they exist as a suspension in the atmosphere. These Diesel particles can be accumulated at the respiratory organs and cause many serious diseases. In order to compensate for the weak point of such a Diesel Engine, the DPF(Diesel Particulate Filter) post-cleaning equipment has been used and it mainly consists of ceramic materials(SiC, Cordierite etc) because of the necessity for the engine system durability on the exposure of high temperature, high pressure and chemical harsh environmental. Ceramic Material filter, but it remains a lot of problems yet, such as limitations of collecting very small particles below micro size, high cost due to difficulties of manufacturing process and low fuel consumption efficiency due to back pressure increase by the small pore structure. This study is to test the possibility of new structure by direct infiltration of SiC Whisker on Carbon felt as the next generation filter and this new filter is expected to improve the above various problems of the Ceramic DPF currently in use and reduction of the cost simultaneously. In this experiment, non-catalytic VS CVD (Vapor-Solid Chemical Vaporized Deposition) system was adopted to keep high mechanical properties of SiC and MTS (Methyl-Trichloro-Silane) gas used as source and H2 gas used as dilute gas. From this, the suitable whisker growth for high performance filter was observed depending on each deposition conditions change (input gas ratio, temperature, mass flow rate etc.).

A novel non-enzymatic oxalic acid (OA) sensor based on the platinum/carbon black-nickel-reduced graphene oxide (Pt/CBNi-rGO) nanocomposite is reported. The nanocomposites were prepared by the ethylene glycol reduction method. Their morphology and chemical composition were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results clearly demonstrated the formation of the Pt/CB-Ni-rGO nanocomposite. The electrocatalytic activity of the Pt/CB-Ni-rGO electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. It was determined that the appropriate amount of Pt enhanced the catalytic activity of Pt for oxalic acid electro-oxidation. Moreover, the modified electrode was determined to be highly selective for oxalic acid without interference from compounds commonly found in urine including uric acid and ascorbic acid. The chronoamperometric signal gave a wide linearity range of 20 μM-60 mM and the detection limit (3σ) was found to be 2.35 μM. The proposed method showed high selectivity, stability, and good reproducibility and could be used with micro-volumes of sample for the detection of oxalic acid. Finally, the oxalic acid content in artificial and control urine samples were successfully determined by our proposed electrode.

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.
