  • Publication number: 20230356192
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an oxygen storage/release material that has achieved both the improved oxygen storage/release capacity at low temperature and heat tolerance, which comprises a ceria-zirconia-based composite oxide, wherein the ceria-zirconia-based composite oxide further comprises praseodymium (Pr) or neodymium (Nd), and has, in at least a part thereof, at least one ordered phase of ? phase and a pyrochlore phase, a proportion of primary particles having particle diameters of 0.4 ?m to 1.5 ?m is 40% to 100% on a particle number basis, and, when heated for 5 hours in the air at 1,100° C., I(14/29) value is 0.015 or more and I(28/29) value is 0.08 or less. The present disclosure also relates to a method for producing such oxygen storage/release material.

  • Patent number: 11396837
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an exhaust gas cleaning catalyst having a substrate and a catalyst coating layer coated on the substrate, in which the catalyst coating layer has an upstream-side coating layer formed from the upstream-side end portion of the exhaust gas cleaning catalyst in an exhaust gas flow direction and a downstream-side coating layer formed from the downstream-side end portion of the exhaust gas cleaning catalyst in the exhaust gas flow direction, when the upstream-side coating layer and the downstream-side coating layer overlap each other, the upstream-side coating layer is disposed on the downstream-side coating layer, and the upstream-side coating layer contains a catalytic metal and a ZrO2—CeO2 composite oxide in which Fe forms a solid solution.
