Abstract

An object of the present invention is to realize low pressure loss and high purification performance in a constitution in which a primary catalyst component and co-catalyst component are loaded onto a ceramic support that allows catalyst components to be loaded directly. According to the present invention, a primary catalyst component in the form of a catalyst precious metal and a co-catalyst component in the form of an oxygen occluding component are loaded on the surface of a honeycomb-shaped ceramic support, including the inner surfaces of pores. As a result of the large loaded amount of co-catalyst component entering inside the pores, the loaded amount of co-catalyst component on the cell wall surfaces is reduced, thereby making it possible to inhibit increases in pressure loss. In addition, since the primary catalyst component and co-catalyst component are in close proximity to each other, catalyst performance is improved.
