Exhaust gas purification catalyst and exhaust gas purification method using the same

Abstract

In order to provide an exhaust gas purification catalyst capable of purifying hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides in exhaust gas at low temperatures, the exhaust gas purification catalyst according to the present invention includes: a region (2) containing palladium on a three-dimensional structure (1), and a first region (3) and a second region (4) provided on the region (2) in order from an inflow side of exhaust gas to an outflow side of exhaust gas. The concentration of neodymium contained in the first region (3) is higher than the concentration of neodymium contained in the second region (4).
