An oxygen reduction catalyst containing as constituent elements cobalt, sulfur, and a transition metal element M being at least one element selected from chromium and molybdenum, the oxygen reduction catalyst being ascertained to have a crystal structure of a cobalt disulfide cubic crystal in powder X-ray diffraction measurement, and having a molar ratio of the transition metal element M to cobalt (M/cobalt) of 5/95 to 15/85. Also disclosed is an electrode having a catalyst layer containing the oxygen reduction catalyst, a membrane electrode assembly including a polymer electrolyte membrane wherein the electrode serves as a cathode and/or an anode, and a fuel cell including the membrane electrode assembly.

Methods, catalysts, and corresponding catalyst precursors are provided for performing dewaxing of diesel or distillate boiling range fractions. The dewaxing methods, catalysts, and/or catalyst precursors can allow for production of diesel boiling range fuels with improved cold flow properties at desirable yields. The catalysts and/or catalyst precursors can correspond to supported base metal catalysts and/or catalyst precursors that include at least two Group 8-10 base metals supported on the catalyst, such as a catalyst/catalyst precursor including both Ni and Co as supported metals along with a Group 6 metal (i.e., Mo and/or W). The support can correspond to a support including a zeolitic framework structure. The catalyst precursors can be formed, for example, by impregnating a support including a zeolitic framework structure with an impregnation solution that also includes a dispersion agent.
