Abstract
Composites of mixed metal oxides for an exhaust gas purifying catalyst comprise the following co-precipitated materials by weight of the composite: zirconia in an amount in the range of 55-99%; titania in an amount in the range of 1-25%; a promoter and/or a stabilizer in an amount in the range of 0-20%. These composites are effective as supports for platinum group metals (PGMs), in particular rhodium.
Claims5
A method of making a composite of mixed metal oxides comprising:
- obtaining or forming a first aqueous solution of a salt of zirconium, a salt of a metal promoter selected from lanthanum, neodymium, gadolinium, praseodymium, samarium, and mixtures thereof, and, optionally, a salt of a stabilizer selected from barium, calcium, magnesium, strontium and mixtures thereof;
- obtaining or forming a second aqueous solution of a salt of titanium;
- mixing the first and second aqueous solutions;
- and
- co-precipitating the zirconium, the optional metal of the promoter or stabilizer, and the titanium under basic conditions;
- thus forming a co-precipitated mixed metal oxide composite.
