Abstract

In the manufacturing process of the exhaust gas purifying catalyst (3), rhodium is supported by the base material using the rhodium carbonyl cluster solution in which rhodium carbonyl cluster is dissolved into methanol in the step of forming the upper catalytic layer (6) including rhodium and platinum as catalytic metals. By this, the dispersibility of rhodium in the base material is highly raised, and further rhodium is effectively restrained from being oxidized during the manufacturing process of the catalyst (3). Thus, according to the exhaust gas purifying catalyst (3) particularly, the purifying performance of NOx at both of lower exhaust gas temperature and higher exhaust gas temperature is highly improved.
