Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a catalyst for purifying exhaust gas of automobiles, a three-way catalyst has been used which purifies the exhaust gas by simultaneously oxidizing CO and HC and reducing NO x . As such a three-way catalyst, for example, a carrier layer made of γ-Al 2 O 3 is formed on a heat-resistant honeycomb substrate made of cordierite or the like, and platinum (Pt) or rhodium (Rh) is formed on the carrier layer. It is widely known that the above catalyst metal is supported.

とも行われている。The condition of the carrier used for the exhaust gas purifying catalyst is that it has a large specific surface area and high heat resistance. Generally, Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , ZrO 2 , TiO 2 and the like are used. There are many. Also, by using CeO 2 with OSC as a co-catalyst together, it is possible to mitigate the atmospheric fluctuation of exhaust gas.

能が著しく低下するという不具合があった。However, in the conventional exhaust gas purifying catalyst,
When exposed to a high temperature of more than 00 ° C, the specific surface area of the carrier decreases due to sintering, the grain growth of the catalytic metal occurs, and the OSC of CeO 2 also decreases, resulting in a marked decrease in purification performance. There was a problem.

It is necessary to activate the catalyst and purify emission control components.
Yes. Above all, Pt is CeO2The co-catalyst supported on carbon dioxide can emit CO from a low temperature.
Good at purifying performance. Use such a promoter
For example, when CO is ignited at a low temperature, CO adsorption poisoning of Pt
Is alleviated, and the ignitability of HC is improved. Also, with this
As the catalyst surface is warmed up, the HC is cleaned from the low temperature range.

For use in actual exhaust gas, it is necessary to improve the heat resistance without losing the properties of CeO 2 . In addition, Pt on the carrier is required to be stabilized because grain growth occurs in Pt due to sintering of CeO 2 and the activity decreases.

まう。Even with a three-way catalyst containing CeO 2 as a carrier, the OSC expressed by CeO 2 decreases when exposed to high temperatures. This is due to sintering of CeO 2 and grain growth of the precious metal supported, oxidation of the precious metal, and solid solution of Rh in CeO 2 . And in a catalyst with a low OSC (a small amount of CeO 2 ), the noble metal is easily exposed to the changing atmosphere, and the deterioration (aggregation or solid solution) of the noble metal is further promoted.

る。Such a complex oxide can be produced by preparing an oxide precursor containing a plurality of metal elements by an alkoxide method, a coprecipitation method or the like, and firing it. Among them, the coprecipitation method has a merit that the raw material cost is lower than that of the alkoxide method and the like, and thus the obtained composite oxide is also inexpensive, and is widely used in the production of the composite oxide.

A -ZrO 2 composite oxide is obtained. However, in this method, since it is heated and held at 800 to 1000 ° C, CeO 2 -ZrO 2
It is unavoidable that the specific surface area of the composite oxide decreases, and it is difficult to obtain a practical high purification activity when used as an exhaust gas purification promoter.

It is desirable to do. By performing this aging treatment, the grain sizes of the obtained composite oxide are made uniform, so that the surface partial pressure, which is one of the driving forces for grain growth, is made uniform and the grain growth during the reduction treatment can be further suppressed. .

It can be carried out. Alternatively, the filtered precipitate may be calcined in the presence of steam. In this case, it is preferable to fire in a saturated steam atmosphere,
A hydrothermal treatment carried out at 0 to 200 ° C, more preferably 100 to 150 ° C is particularly desirable. If the heating temperature is lower than 100 ° C, the aging-promoting effect is small and the aging time becomes long. Also
At temperatures higher than 200 ° C, a synthesizing device capable of withstanding 10 atm or more is required, resulting in high facility cost.

If the heating and holding temperature is lower than 800 ℃, it becomes difficult to form the pyrochlore phase and the OSC decreases. On the other hand, when the temperature is higher than 1200 ° C, the specific surface area is significantly decreased, which is not preferable. By setting the heating and holding temperature to 800 to 1200 ° C., the composite oxide of the present invention having a pyrochlore phase in which Ce and Zr are regularly arranged and having a high specific surface area can be obtained.

In the composite oxide of No. 1, a peak (2θ = 37 °) attributed to the pyrochlore phase, which is not seen in Comparative Example 1, is observed.

たために充分な OSCが発現しなかったと考えられる。From Table 1, it can be seen that the composite oxides and cocatalysts of Comparative Example 1 have a significantly higher specific surface area than those of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Example 2, but have a low OSC. That is, in Comparative Example 1, although no grain growth occurred because no reduction treatment was performed, it is considered that sufficient OSC was not expressed because no pyrochlore phase was generated.

考えられる。However, in Examples 1 and 2, although the specific surface area was not as high as that of Comparative Example 1, it showed higher OSC than that of Comparative Example 1. This is because the activity to compensate for the decrease in specific surface area due to the reduction treatment is the pyrochlore phase. It is thought that this is because it was obtained by the generation of

１，２よりも OSCが低くなっている。The composite oxide of Comparative Example 2 is the same as that of Example 1.
2 has a remarkably low specific surface area as compared with 2 and Comparative Example 1. this is
It is considered that grain growth occurred due to the reduction treatment of the composite oxide without Al 2 O 3 intervening. Therefore, the OSC of the catalyst of Comparative Example 2 was lower than that of Examples 1 and 2 even though the catalyst contained the pyrochlore phase.
