Excellent Oxygen Storage Capacity of Perovskite-PD Three way Catalysts 950256

Increasingly stringent emissions controls have led to a greater emphasis on strategies designed to minimize emission during cold start. One strategy employed is that of close-coupling the catalyst to the exhaust manifold of the engine in an effort to minimize catalyst light-off time. In this configuration, the catalyst must exhibit a high degree of thermal stability.

Further, since the catalyst is situated nearer to the engine, it is more liable to sense cylinder-to-cylinder variations in exhaust gas composition and thus needs to possess a wider operating window than a catalyst positioned further underbody.

We have previously reported that Perovskite-Pd catalysts exhibit excellent heat resistance and have three-way catalyst activity comparable with or superior to that of Pt-Rh/ Al₂O₃ catalysts and Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts [1]*.

Durability at high temperatures and oxygen storage capacity under large air/fuel (A/F) ratio fluctuation conditions have now been tested.

As a result, it has been found that the Perovskite-Pd catalysts exhibit satisfactory thermal resistance, good oxygen storage capacity and excellent performance.

The Perovskite-Pd catalyst may be applicable to both electronically fuel injected engines and carburetor specifications engines.
