1-20. (canceled)
A diesel engine exhaust system comprising an oxidation catalyst, wherein the oxidation catalyst comprises:
- a water adsorbent material;
- a catalyst composition for treating an exhaust gas pollutant produced by the diesel engine, wherein the catalyst composition comprises a platinum group metal (PGM) and a support material, wherein the platinum group metal (PGM) comprises platinum;
- and
- a substrate;
- wherein the catalyst composition and the water adsorbent material is each disposed on the substrate, wherein a first washcoat layer comprising the water adsorbent material is disposed on a second washcoat layer comprising the catalyst composition such that the water adsorbent material is arranged to contact exhaust gas from the diesel engine before the catalyst composition.
