Abstract
The present disclosure describes zoned three way catalyst (TWC) systems including Rhodium-iron overcoat layers and Nb—Zr—Al Oxide overcoat layers. Disclosed herein are TWC sample systems that are configured to include a substrate and one or more of a washcoat layer, an impregnation layer, and/or an overcoat layer. In catalyst systems disclosed herein, closed-coupled catalysts include a first catalyst zone with an overcoat layer formed using a slurry that includes an oxide mixture and an Oxygen Storage Material (OSM). In catalyst systems disclosed herein, oxide mixtures include niobium oxide (Nb2O5), zirconia, and alumina. Further, catalyst systems disclosed herein include a second catalyst zone with an overcoat layer formed to include a rhodium-iron catalyst. Yet further, catalyst systems disclosed herein include impregnation layers that include one or more of Palladium, Barium, Cerium, Neodymium, and Rhodium.
