Methods and systems are provided for an emissions aftertreatment device. In one example, the emissions aftertreatment device may include a catalyst and a high entropy oxygen storage material formed of at least five metal oxides in equal molar proportions. The at least five metal oxides includes one or more rare earth metals as well as other metals with similar chemical properties as the rare earth metals.

High entropy rare earth oxides for emissions control

A catalytic converter system having oxygen storage materials is disclosed and methods for determining whether to reactivate oxygen storage materials and monitoring failure events of the oxygen storage materials are also disclosed.

Accelerated catalyst reactivation control strategy for gasoline vehicle emissions system in conjunction with N2 selective catalyst to minimize NOX remake

Methods and systems are provided for operating an engine of a vehicle. In one example, a method may include positioning an oxygen sensor in an engine exhaust downstream from a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst, determining an oxygen storage capacity of the SCR catalyst based on a measurement of the oxygen sensor, and determining an extent of deactivation of the SCR catalyst based on the oxygen storage capacity.

Engine emmissions control methods and systems

Methods and systems are provided for depositing one or more layers of ash on a surface of a new or cleaned gasoline particulate filter (GPF) prior to installation of the GPF in an engine and first use of the GPF. In one example, a method may include coating the GPF with the one or more layers of ash via an atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique in which two precursors react to form a layer of ash on the GPF surface.

Method and system for gasoline particulate filter

A method utilizes a three-way catalytic converter, having a catalyst formed from a plurality of particles each including a first metal oxide center, a second metal oxide monolayer, and a catalytically active metal to decrease concentration of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides in exhaust gas during stoichiometric, rich, and lean conditions, wherein a molar ratio of metal in the monolayers to metal in the centers is between about 0.01 and 0.2.
