In accordance with the technology herein disclosed, an exhaust gas purification catalyst exhibiting a high exhaust gas purifying performance using a new rare earth-containing material is provided. The exhaust gas purification catalyst herein disclosed includes a base material and a catalyst layer formed on the surface of the base material. The catalyst layer of such an exhaust gas purification catalyst includes rare earth-carrying alumina 50 including a primary particle of a rare earth particle 40 including at least one rare earth element carried on the surface of an alumina carrier 30 including alumina, and the average particle diameter Dbased on TEM observation of the rare earth particle 40 in the rare earth-carrying alumina 50 is 10 nm or less. As a result of this, it is possible to provide an exhaust gas purification catalyst having high NOx adsorption performance and CO adsorption performance.

Exhaust gas purification catalyst

An exhaust gas purification catalyst showing resistance to peeling and high purification performance is provided. The present invention is an exhaust gas purification catalyst including a base material and a catalyst layer disposed on the base material. The catalyst layer includes a catalytic metal, a first metal oxide, and a second metal oxide having a higher heat resistance than that of the first metal oxide. When Dx is an area-based average particle diameter of the first metal oxide determined from an arbitrary cross section of the catalyst layer and Dy is an area-based particle diameter of the second metal oxide 22 measured from the cross section of the catalyst layer, a ratio of the Dy to the Dx (Dy/Dx) is 5 or more, and the Dy is 7 μm or more. In the catalyst layer, pore volume of pores having pore diameters 30 nm or more measured by a nitrogen adsorption method is 0.28 cm/g or more.

The present invention provides an exhaust gas purification catalyst including a base materialand a catalyst layerprovided on the base material. The catalyst layerincludes: a catalyst metal; and a carrying materialcarrying the catalyst metal. The carrying materialincludes: an OSC materialhaving an oxygen storage capacity; and a carrierother than the OSC material. The OSC materialhas a mean particle diameter Dx of 1.5 μm or more which is larger than the mean particle diameter Dy of the carrierother than the OSC material

An exhaust gas purification catalyst, excellent in the NOx purification capacity and the HC purification capacity, includes a substrate and a catalyst coating layer formed on the surface of the substrate, wherein the catalyst coating layer comprises the upper and lower layer including a lower layer being closer to the surface of the substrate and an upper layer being relatively remote from the surface of the substrate. The upper layer of the catalyst coating layer includes Rh, Pd, and a carrier. The lower layer of the catalyst coating layer includes at least one noble metal selected from Pd and Pt and a carrier. 65% by mass or more of Pd in the upper layer exists in a layer up to 50% of the upper layer in a thickness direction from the surface of the upper layer being relatively remote from the surface of the substrate. The ratio of Pd to Rh by mass (Pd/Rh) is 0.5 to 7.0 in the upper layer.
