  • Manganese containing oxygen storage component comprising three-way catalyst composition
    Patent number: 7396516
    Abstract: A three-way catalyst (TWC) composition comprises a manganese-containing oxygen storage component (OSC) and at least one optionally doped alumina wherein where the at least one alumina is gamma-alumina it is doped with at least one of a rare earth metal, silicon, germanium, phosphorus, arsenic, calcium, strontium or barium.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 20, 2001
    Date of Patent: July 8, 2008
    Assignee: Johnson Matthey Public Limited Company
    Inventors: Janet Mary Fisher, Timothy Ian Hyde, David Thompsett

  • Three-way catalyst
    Patent number: 6680036
    Abstract: New three-way catalysts for vehicles contain, as an oxygen storage component, mixed oxide MnZr. These components are less expensive than state-of-the-art ceria/zirconia, and generally offer improved capacity even after exposure to high temperatures.

  • Catalyst
    Patent number: 5939220
    Abstract: A novel catalyst comprising a Pt--M alloy wherein M is one or more metals selected from the transition metal elements or from Groups IIIA or IVA of the Periodic Table in "Handbook of Chemistry and Physics" 64th Edition, CRC Press, and Y wherein Y is a bronze forming element or an oxide thereof, characterised in that the Pt--M alloy is in intimate contact with Y, and provided that M is not Ru if Y is WO.sub.3 is disclosed and which may be used as a poison tolerant catalyst for use in fuel cells, specifically as the anode of a PEM fuel cell.
