A battery housing assembly for housing battery components of an electric vehicle includes a battery tray, a lid, and a sealant. The battery tray includes a channel located outwardly relative to the battery components. The lid is secured to the battery tray and includes an end portion disposed within the channel. The lid further includes at least one alignment feature configured to align the lid and the battery tray. The sealant is disposed within a portion of the channel of the battery tray and is configured to secure the battery tray and the lid to each other. The sealant is further configured to seal an internal cavity of the battery housing assembly.

Methods for preparing ceria-zirconia (CZO) materials calcined with precious group metals (PGM) include calcining a CZO material with PGM. The calcined CZO/PGM catalyst is reduced at a temperature of &#x2265;1000&#xb0; C. to &#x2264;1100&#xb0; C. for a time of &#x2265;0.5 hour to 1 hour to form a (CZO/PGM)-pyrochlore catalyst. The (CZO/PGM)-pyrochlore catalyst exhibits superior oxygen storage capacity characteristics as a three-way catalyst in vehicle exhaust gas systems.
