DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention JP-A-62-68
In the exhaust gas purifying catalyst disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 542, platinum is used to purify nitrogen oxides, and the amount of rhodium required to retain the activity performance of palladium is different between the inlet side and the outlet side. Despite being different, since it is uniform from the inlet side to the outlet side, platinum is a catalytically active component supported on the catalyst-supporting layer, palladium,
Grain growth of rhodium due to heat deterioration or covering of rhodium with palladium reduces the influence of rhodium on platinum and the activity performance of palladium,
The activity performance of the entire catalyst is not sufficiently exhibited, and the purification rate after endurance is reduced.
