Abstract
The invention makes use of an exhaust gas catalyst, comprising an active component comprising at least one type of metal from noble metals and transition metals; NOx-absorbing material for absorbing and releasing nitrogen oxides according to the surrounding nitrogen oxide concentration; and compounds represented by A2O2SO4 and/or A2O2S (A is a rare earth element).
Claims5
An exhaust gas cleaning catalyst for cleaning exhaust gas by redox, the exhaust gas cleaning catalyst comprising:
- at least one type of metal of noble metals and transition metals;
- NOx-absorbing material for absorbing and releasing nitrogen oxides according to the surrounding nitrogen oxide concentration;
- a first oxygen absorbing and releasing material comprising a compound represented by A2O2SO4 and/or A2O2S (A is a rare earth element) for absorbing and releasing oxygen under conditions involving relatively high temperatures;
- and
- a second oxygen absorbing and releasing material for absorbing and releasing oxygen under conditions involving temperatures lower than the temperatures at which the first oxygen absorbing and releasing material absorbs and releases oxygen.
