The present invention relates to a particulate filter which comprises a wall-flow filter of length L and two different catalytically active coatings Y and Z, wherein the wall flow filter comprises channels E and A that extend in parallel between a first and a second end of the wall-flow filter and are separated by porous walls which form the surfaces OE and OA, respectively, and wherein the channels E are closed at the second end and the channels A are closed at the first end. The invention is characterized in that the coating Y is located in the channels E on the surfaces OE and the coating Z is located in the porous walls.
A particulate filter for removing particles, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gas of combustion engines fueled by stoichiometric air-fuel mixtures, the particulate filter comprises a wall-flow filter of length L and two different coatings Y and Z, wherein the wall-flow filter comprises channels E and channels A, with each of channels E and channels A extending in parallel between a first, inlet end and a second, outlet end of the wall-flow filter and with channels E being separated from channels A by porous walls, and with the porous walls having surfaces OE and surfaces OA, respectively facing channels E and channels A, and wherein the channels E are closed at the second end and the channels A are closed at the first end, such that, in use, channels E first receive the exhaust gas, characterized in that coating Y is located in the channels E on the surfaces OE and extends from the first end of the wall-flow filter over a length of 51 to 90% of the length L, and coating Z is located in the porous walls and extends from the second end of the wall-flow filter over a length of 60 to 100% of the length L, and wherein each of the coatings Y and Z contains one or more noble metals fixed to one or more substrate materials, and one or more oxygen storage components, and coating Z contains a higher percentage, by weight, of oxygen storage material, based on the weight of coating Z, as compared to that of coating Y, based on the weight of coating Y.
