(Prior Art) It is known that one method for improving the fuel consumption rate of an engine is to burn a lean air-fuel mixture in the engine. This kind of engine is called a lean burn engine. As a catalyst for decomposing NOx emitted from such a lean burn engine, lean NOx having a Cu/zeolite structure having a purification efficiency characteristic curve shown in Fig. 5 is used.
x catalyst was used. Note that the Cu/zeolite structure refers to a structure in which Cu is supported on a crystalline structure made of AI and Si, called a zeolite structure.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Incidentally, in the lean burn engine, the engine burns a lean air-fuel mixture during steady operation, and burns an air-fuel mixture at a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio during transient operation such as during acceleration.

However, when a conventional lean NOx catalyst is used to purify the exhaust gas of a lean burn engine, the engine burns the air-fuel mixture at the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio during transient operations such as during acceleration, resulting in large amounts of emissions near the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. It was not possible to completely purify NO. This is as shown in Figure 5.
This is because the NOx purification efficiency of the conventional lean NOx catalyst is about 50% near the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.
