Abstract:
The present disclosure describes zoned three way catalyst (TWC) systems including Rhodium-iron overcoat layers and Nb—Zr—Al Oxide overcoat layers. Disclosed herein are TWC sample systems that are configured to include a substrate and one or more of a washcoat layer, an impregnation layer, and/or an overcoat layer. In catalyst systems disclosed herein, closed-coupled catalysts include a first catalyst zone with an overcoat layer formed using a slurry that includes an oxide mixture and an Oxygen Storage Material (OSM). In catalyst systems disclosed herein, oxide mixtures include niobium oxide (Nb2O5), zirconia, and alumina. Further, catalyst systems disclosed herein include a second catalyst zone with an overcoat layer formed to include a rhodium-iron catalyst. Yet further, catalyst systems disclosed herein include impregnation layers that include one or more of Palladium, Barium, Cerium, Neodymium, and Rhodium.

Abstract:
Three way catalysts (TWCs) for catalyst systems are disclosed. The disclosed TWC systems include Iron (Fe)-activated Rhodium (Rh) and Barium (Ba)-Palladium (Pd) layers capable of interacting with conventional and/or non-conventional catalyst supports and additives. Variations of TWC system samples are produced including Fe-activated Rh layers deposited onto a washcoat (WC) layer having one or more of an oxygen storage material (OSM). Other TWC system samples are produced including an impregnation (IMPG) layer having loading variations of Ba within a Pd, Ce, and Nd applied onto an OSM WC layer, and a further overcoat layer including Fe-activated Rh is applied onto the IMPG layer. The catalytic performance of disclosed TWC catalysts is evaluated by performing a series of light-off tests, wide pulse perturbation tests, and standard isothermal oxygen storage capacity oscillating tests. Disclosed TWC catalysts exhibit high catalytic performance and significant oxygen storage capacity.
