Catalytic article and method of manufacturing the catalytic article

A catalytic article comprising:

• a bi-layered article comprising:
• platinum supported on a first support comprising a ceria containing metal oxide component selected from ceria-alumina, ceria-yttrium-alumina, ceria-silica-alumina, ceria-tin-alumina, ceria-manganese alumina, ceria-iron-alumina, ceria-nickel-alumina, ceria-iridium-alumina, ceria-ruthenium-alumina, ceria-indium-alumina, ceria-titania-alumina ceria-titania, or any combination thereof, wherein the ceria content of the ceria-containing metal oxide component ranges from 1.0 wt. % to 80.0wt. %, based on the total weight of the ceria-containing metal oxide component;
• rhodium supported on a second support chosen from a refractory alumina component, an oxygen storage component, and a combination thereof;
• and
• a substrate,
• wherein the catalytic article is essentially free of palladium;
• and
• wherein the catalytic article exhibits hydrothermal stability at an aging temperature of greater than 950° C.
