Abstract
Flexible metal foil catalyst members suitable for use in catalytic devices for combustion engine emission control are prepared by electrophoretic deposition using an aqueous slurry of catalyst support particles. The deposited support layer is of uniform thickness and stable surface area. The catalyst support may then be impregnated with catalytic species and assembled into a catalytic device. The catalyst members from the invention are especially suitable for use in automotive applications, and more especially in electrically heated catalytic devices.
