Conventionally, a silver-cerium oxide composite containing a silver particle and cerium oxide covering the surface of the silver particle has been synthesized through a multi-stage process, and is disadvantageous not only in that there is a need to use an organic solvent and a surfactant, causing the time and cost to be increased, but also in that there is a possibility that fulminating silver is formed, leading to a problem about the safety. A method for producing a catalyst having a silver-cerium oxide composite and an alkaline carrier having supported thereon the oxide composite, the silver-cerium oxide composite containing a silver particle and cerium oxide covering the surface of the silver particle, the method having preparing a mixture containing a silver compound, a cerium compound, and an alkaline carrier, and drying the mixture is provided.

The present disclosure relates to a metal-organic framework modified using a compound having a hydroxyl group (OH), a catalyst for a hydrogenation reaction including the same, and a method of manufacturing the same. The catalyst according to the present disclosure has high activity to the hydrogenation reaction even at a low temperature of 30 to 40 C., thus making low-grade waste heat usable.

A gold cluster catalyst is capable of promoting/controlling a chemical reaction with high catalytic activity and selectivity. The gold cluster catalyst has a carrier supporting clusters, each of which is an aggregate of a plurality of gold atoms, which can be obtained by providing the carrier supporting a plurality of gold cluster compounds and then processing the gold cluster compounds on the carrier, in which each of the gold cluster compounds is stabilized by an organic ligand and including a predetermined number of gold atoms. In the gold cluster catalyst, each of the clusters may have a particle diameter of 10 nm or less and be formed substantially only of gold atoms.
