Uses of palladium in automotive emission control catalysts

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6556965

On a signal basis there is a resurgence of interest in the use of palladium in automotive emission control catalysts because of cost, availability and performance advantages under certain operating conditions relative to more expensive noble metals. This paper reviews a variety of potential vehicle applications for the use of palladium containing catalysts. Included in the study are for the replacement of platinum by palladium in conventional platinum/rhodium systems, palladium-only three-way catalysts, palladium-only three-way catalysts, palladium-only dual bed catalysts and two-stroke and lean-burn engine applications.
