The catalyst coating layers each have at least three zones present in order from the upstream side to the downstream side of the exhaust gas flow, and each of these at least three zones is an oxidation catalyst zone or a reduction catalyst zone. In the uppermost layer of an oxidation catalyst zone, the total number of atoms of platinum and palladium is greater than the number of atoms of rhodium; in the upper most layer of a reduction catalyst zone, the number of atoms of rhodium is greater than the total number of atoms of platinum and palladium. The oxidation catalyst zones and the reduction catalyst zones alternate at least twice in the exhaust gas flow direction.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purification catalyst comprises a substrate; a catalyst layer formed on the substrate and containing at least palladium (Pd) and rhodium (Rh) as a metal functioning as an oxidation and/or reduction catalyst. The catalyst also comprises a carrier that supports the metal, and an OSC material having oxygen storage capacity. The catalyst layer has, when disposed in the exhaust pipe, a front section positioned upstream in an exhaust gas flow direction within the exhaust pipe, and a rear section positioned downstream of the front section in the exhaust gas flow direction. The front section contains palladium (Pd) but does not contain the OSC material, and a proportion, at which the front section is formed from an upstream leading end in the exhaust gas flow direction, is 10% to 40% with respect to 100% of a total length of the substrate.

Abstract: Provided is an exhaust gas purification catalyst of OSC material-containing type that allows a favorable HC purification (oxidation) treatment to be performed even in a case where HC emissions are comparatively large, such as during engine startup. The exhaust gas purification catalyst of the present invention includes, as a catalyst layer (20), a front section (24) positioned upstream in an exhaust gas flow direction, and a rear section (26) positioned downstream of the front section in the exhaust gas flow direction.

The proportion, at which the front section is formed from the upstream leading end in the exhaust gas flow direction, is 10% to 40% with respect to 100% of a total length of the substrate (1) in the exhaust gas flow direction.
