Abstract
The present invention relates to high oxygen ion conducting/oxygen storage (OIC/OS) capacity materials, a catalyst employing the OIC/OS materials, and a method for converting hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides using the catalyst. The OIC/OS materials have stable cubic crystalline structures such that after aging for greater than about 36 hours at temperatures up to about 1,200° C., greater than about 60-95% of the cerium present is reducible. These materials comprise up to about 95 mole percent (mole %) zirconium, up to about 50 mole % cerium, up to about 20 mole % of a stabilizer such as yttrium, rare earths, and the like; and about 0.01 to about 25 mole % of a base metal selected from the group consisting of iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, silver, manganese, bismuth and mixtures comprising at least one of the foregoing metals.
