Abstract: A pillar shaped honeycomb structure, including: a porous partition wall that define a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells forming flow paths for a fluid, the plurality of cells extending from an inflow end face to an outflow end face; and an outer peripheral wall located at the outermost circumference. The plurality of cells include: a plurality of first cells; and a plurality of second cells having a lower cross-sectional area than that of the plurality of first cells. An interior of each of the second cells is filled with a material comprising a magnetic substance. Each of the second cells are arranged adjacent to at least one of the first cells.

Abstract: A honeycomb filter, including: a honeycomb structure, wherein the honeycomb structure further includes a platinum group element-containing catalyst layer and a trapping layer, the platinum group element-containing catalyst layer is disposed at least on an entire surface of a side of an inner surface of the partition walls surrounding either one of the inflow cells or the outflow cells, the trapping layer does not contain a platinum group element, and the trapping layer is disposed in a range of at least up to 50% with respect to an overall length of the honeycomb structure starting from the outflow end face and is not disposed in a range of at least up to 40% with respect to the overall length starting from the inflow end face, in an extending direction of the cells of the honeycomb structure.

Abstract: A honeycomb catalyst body includes a tubular honeycomb base material having porous partition walls to define and form a plurality of cells extending as through channels of a fluid from one end surface from which the fluid flows in to the other end surface from which the fluid flows out, and a catalyst loaded onto the partition walls. In the honeycomb base material, at least one slit which is open in a side surface of the honeycomb base material is formed, and a width of the slit is from 1.0 to 10.0 mm.
