The present invention features a process, and a product formed by the process, wherein a catalyst device is fabricated in situ. Metal powders, metal alloy powders and mixtures thereof are introduced to a substrate, by means of a washcoat suspension. After the suspension is applied, the metals are transformed into active catalyst and catalyst support materials. The process comprises the steps of: (a) introducing to a substrate, metal powders, metal alloy powders and mixtures thereof, having particles in average diameter sizes of approximately between 5 and 50 microns; and (b) transforming in situ the particles of the metals and metal alloys and mixtures thereof, whereby the metals, metal alloys and mixtures thereof are converted into active catalyst and catalyst support materials having sub-micron average diameter sizes.
A method of fabricating a catalyst structure in situ, wherein at least one of a group of metal powders, metal alloy powders and mixtures thereof, are introduced to a substrate and then transformed into active catalyst and catalyst support materials, comprising the steps of:
A catalyst structure formed in situ, comprising in combination:
