Abstract
A catalyst for purification of automobile exhaust gas comprising: a support and rhodium supported on the support in an atomic state, wherein an amount of the rhodium supported is 0.05 to 0.30% by mass relative to the total amount of the support and the rhodium, 50 at. % or more of the rhodium is supported on the support as two-atom clusters of rhodium, and an average distance between adjacent ones of the two-atom clusters is 1.0 nm or more.

A catalyst for purification of automobile exhaust gas, comprising:
- a support;
- and
- rhodium supported on the support in an atomic state, wherein
- an amount of the rhodium supported is 0.05 to 0.30% by mass relative to the total amount of the support and the rhodium,
- 50 at.% or more of the rhodium is supported on the support as two-atom clusters of rhodium, and
- an average distance between adjacent ones of the two-atom clusters is 1.0 nm or more.
