Abstract

See full text

Synergized Platinum Group Metals (SPGM) catalyst system for TWC application is disclosed. Disclosed SPGM catalyst system may include a washcoat that includes Cu—Mn spinel structure, supported on doped ZrO2, and an overcoat that includes PGM, such as Rhodium (Rh) supported on carrier material oxides, such as alumina. SPGM catalyst system shows significant improvement in nitrogen oxide reduction performance under lean and also rich operating conditions. Furthermore, disclosed SPGM catalyst systems are found to have enhanced fresh and aged catalytic activity compared to PGM catalyst system, showing that there is a synergistic effect between PGM catalyst, such as Rh, and Cu—Mn spinel within disclosed SPGM catalyst system, which help in activity and thermal stability of disclosed SPGM catalyst.
