Abstract
An exhaust-gas-purifying catalyst wherein a first zeolite loaded with a catalyst metal and a second zeolite unloaded with a catalyst metal are mixed. By actively adsorbing HC onto the second zeolite, it is possible to inhibit the catalyst metal loaded on the first zeolite from being poisoned by HC, and to sufficiently adsorb HC. Accordingly, since the HC adsorbing capability is improved, and since the HC poisoning of the catalyst metal is suppressed, the NO purifying capability is enhanced and the durability is also upgraded.
