Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an exhaust gas control catalyst including a base and a catalyst coating layer having a two-layer structure on the base. The catalyst coating layer includes a lower layer on the base, and an upper layer on the lower layer. The upper layer of the catalyst coating layer contains Rh particles in which a mean particle diameter measured by observation using a transmission electron microscope is 1.0 nm or more and 2.0 nm or less and a particle-diameter standard deviation σ is 0.8 nm or less. A length of the upper layer from an end face on a downstream side in an exhaust gas flow direction falls within a range of 70% or more and 100% or less of a total length of the base.
Abstract:
The exhaust gas cleaning catalyst according is provided with a substrate and a catalyst coat layer formed on a surface of the substrate. The catalyst coat layer is formed as a laminate structure having an upper layer and a lower layer. The upper layer is a Pd-free layer that does not contain Pd, and the lower layer is a Pd-containing layer. In addition, when a region of the lower layer that corresponds to 20% of the length of the exhaust gas cleaning catalyst from the exhaust gas inlet side end towards the exhaust gas outlet side of the exhaust gas cleaning catalyst is divided into four equal regions to be each 5% of the length, the relationship A>B>C is satisfied, where A, B, and C represents the Pd content in the first, second, and third region respectively.
