The present disclosure provides an exhaust gas purification catalyst improved in OSC performance while maintaining an exhaust gas purification performance, which comprises a substrate and at least one catalyst layer formed on the substrate, wherein an uppermost catalyst layer contains a catalyst metal, a first OSC material having a pyrochlore structure, and a second OSC material having a higher oxygen storage/release rate than the first OSC material, wherein the uppermost catalyst layer consists of an upstream catalyst layer and a downstream catalyst layer, and wherein a proportion of a mass of the second OSC material based on a total mass of the first OSC material and the second OSC material is in a specific range in each of the upstream catalyst layer and the downstream catalyst layer.

Exhaust gas purification catalyst

Provided is an exhaust gas purification device that allows improving an exhaust gas purification performance. An exhaust gas purification device of the present disclosure includes a substrate and a catalyst layer disposed on the substrate. The catalyst layer contains a porous carrier, a catalytic metal that is supported by the porous carrier and belongs to platinum group, an alkaline earth metal supported by the porous carrier, and an alkaline earth metal not supported by the porous carrier. At least a part of the alkaline earth metal supported by the porous carrier is supported inside the porous carrier.

Exhaust gas purification device

In an internal combustion engine, an exhaust purification catalyst (), hydrocarbon feed valve () and particulate filter () are arranged in an exhaust passage. If temperature increasing control should be performed when a first NOpurification method is performed, injection of hydrocarbons for the first NOpurification method is performed with a predetermined period and injection of hydrocarbons for temperature increasing control is performed in a time period when injection of hydrocarbons for the first NOpurification method is not performed, the first NOpurification method being configured to purify NOwhich is contained in the exhaust gas by injecting hydrocarbons from the hydrocarbon feed valve with the predetermined period, the temperature increasing control being configured to increase a temperature of the particulate filter to remove particulate matters trapped on the particulate filter. An amount of injection of hydrocarbons for temperature increasing control when an actual temperature of the particulate filter is low is set larger than that when the actual temperature of the particulate filter is high.
