Abstract
An overall exhaust gas purification function based on an NOx reduction function and an HC oxidation function in an NSR catalyst arranged in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine is improved. In the NSR catalyst, a portion of an NOx storage catalyst layer supported by a carrier, which extends from its upstream end to an X % (0<X≤75) of an overall length thereof along the flow of exhaust gas, forms an upstream side catalyst layer, and a portion of the NOx storage catalyst layer at the downward side of the upstream side catalyst layer along the flow of exhaust gas forms a downstream side catalyst layer. The upstream side catalyst layer does not contain potassium (K) as an NOx storage material, but the downstream side catalyst layer contains potassium (K) as an NOx storage material.
