The present disclosure provides binder compositions formed with a plurality of binder materials having differing mean particles, the binder compositions being useful to improve washcoat adhesion on a substrate. Adhesion can be improved related to an increase in the binder concentration without a significant or substantial increase in associated viscosity. Such binder compositions can comprise a first binder material formed of a plurality of particles having a first mean particle size and a second binder material formed of a plurality of particles having a second mean particle size, wherein a ratio of the first mean particle size to the second mean particle size about 2 or greater. The present disclosure further provides catalyst compositions, catalyst articles, and emission systems incorporating the binder compositions.

Binder composition for enhanced catalyst washcoat adhesion

A four-way conversion catalyst for the treatment of an exhaust gas stream of a gasoline engine, the catalyst comprising a porous wall flow filter substrate comprising an inlet end, an outlet end, a substrate axial length extending between the inlet end and the outlet end, and a plurality of passages defined by porous internal walls of the porous wall flow filter substrate, wherein the plurality of passages comprise inlet passages having an open inlet end and a closed outlet end, and outlet passages having a closed inlet end and an open outlet end; wherein in the pores of the porous internal walls and on the surface of the porous internal walls, which surface defines the interface between the porous internal walls and the passages, the catalyst comprises a three-way conversion catalytic coating comprising an oxygen storage compound and a platinum group metal supported on a refractory metal oxide; wherein in the pores of the porous internal walls, the three-way conversion catalytic coating is present as in-wall-coating and on the surface of the porous internal walls, the three-way conversion catalytic coating is present as on-wall-coating; wherein in addition to said three-way conversion catalytic coating, the catalyst comprises no further coating in the pores of the porous internal walls and no further coating on the surface of the porous internal walls.

Four-way conversion catalyst having improved filter properties

The present invention relates to a four-way conversion catalyst for the treatment of an exhaust gas stream of a gasoline engine, the catalyst comprising a porous wall-flow filter substrate comprising an inlet end, an outlet end, a substrate axial length extending between the inlet end and the outlet end, and a plurality of passages defined by porous internal walls of the porous wallflow filter substrate, wherein the plurality of passages comprise inlet passages having an open inlet end and a closed outlet end, and outlet passages having a closed inlet end and an open outlet end, wherein the interface between the passages and the porous internal walls is defined by the surface of the internal walls; wherein the porous internal walls comprise pores which comprise an oxidic component comprising a first refractory metal oxide, said first refractory metal oxide comprising aluminum, said oxidic component having a platinum group metal content in the range of from 0 to 0.001 weight-% based on the total weight of the oxidic component; wherein the catalyst further comprises a first three-way conversion catalytic coating, at least weight-% thereof being comprised in the pores of the internal walls, said first three-way conversion catalytic coating comprising an oxygen storage compound and a platinum group metal supported on a second refractory metal oxide.
