Abstract
Improved catalysts for conversion of exhaust from internal combustion engines are produced by providing a unique, promoted support consisting of a mixed-metal-oxide promoter substantially uniformly dispersed as homogeneous crystallites of less than about 100 Å on a high surface area refractory oxide support substrate. The promoted support is made by a process that involves dissolving a combination of a primary metal oxide precursor with the oxide precursor of at least one additional metal and a compatible organic depositing agent, slowly heating to transform the depositing agent into a gel-like matrix coating the substrate in which the mixed-metal-oxide precursor compounds are uniformly distributed and thereafter calcining to burn off the organic matrix and form the appropriate oxide morphology.
