Abstract
The invention generally relates to three-way catalysts and catalyst formulations capable of simultaneously converting nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons into less toxic compounds. Such three-way catalyst formulations contain ZrO2-based mixed-metal oxide support oxides doped with an amount of lanthanide. Three-way catalyst formulations with the support oxides of the present invention demonstrate higher catalytic activity, efficiency and longevity than comparable catalysts formulated with traditional support oxides.
