Further purge performance improvement
of the three-way catalyst is necessary because of the
atmosphere environment preservation. In this report,
for heat-resistance improvement of the CeO
2-ZrO
2
solid solution (CZ) which was equipped with oxygen storage
capacity (OSC), we proposed new catalyst promoter "ACZ".
ACZ consists of CeO2-ZrO2
solid solution (CZ) particle with the diffusion barrier
layer and the nanometer size, which was made with
alumina (A).
The CZ crystallite size after durability test of
the catalyst which contains ACZ was small compared
with the usual catalyst and the sintering of the platinum
loaded on the catalyst, was also restrained.
As a result, as for the catalyst which contains
ACZ, the oxygen storage capacity and the catalyst
activation temperature improved substantially compared
with the usual catalyst.
大気環境保全のため三元触媒の更なる浄化性能向上が必要である。
この報告では,酸素貯蔵能 (OSC) を備えたCeO2-ZrO2固溶体
(CZ) の耐熱性向上を目的とし,新しい助触媒"ACZ"を提案した。
ACZは,アルミナ (A) で作られた拡散障壁層とナノメートルサイズのCeO2-ZrO2固溶体
(CZ) 粒子から成るものである。
ACZを含む触媒の耐久試験後のCZ結晶子径は,従来触媒に比べて小さく,触媒上の白金の焼結も抑制された。その結果,ACZを含む触媒は従来触媒に比べて酸素貯蔵量と触媒活性化温度が大幅に向上した。
