Catalyst support and induction heating catalyst system

A catalyst support for induction heating, comprising:

• a honeycomb structure comprising a pillar shaped honeycomb structure portion having:
• an outer peripheral wall;
• and a partition wall disposed on an inner side of the outer peripheral wall, the partition wall defining a plurality of cells, each of the cells extending from an end face on an inlet side to an end face on an outlet side in a gas flow direction to form a flow path;
• a catalyst supported onto an interior of the partition wall;
• and
• at least one magnetic body provided within the honeycomb structure,
• wherein the catalyst support has a region A where the catalyst is not supported, at least on the end face side of the catalyst support on the inlet side in the gas flow direction,
• wherein the magnetic body is arranged at least in the region A in the gas flow direction, and
• wherein the magnetic body is filled in the cells of the honeycomb structure and extends only a portion of a length of the honeycomb structure, and the cells filled with the magnetic body are different from the cells supporting the catalyst.
