Abstract
Provided is a catalytic converter in which the entire catalyst constituting the catalytic converter can be efficiently utilized to purify exhaust gas, and the emission of hydrogen sulfide can be suppressed.A catalytic converter 10 includes catalyst layers 2A, 2B formed of a noble metal catalyst that are formed on cell wall surfaces of a substrate 1 having a cell structure in a longitudinal direction of the substrate 1 in which gas flows, in which the substrate 1 has a center region 1A having a relatively high cell density and a peripheral region 1B having a relatively low cell density, and lengths of the catalyst layers 2A, 2B of the center region 1A and the peripheral region 1B in the longitudinal direction are the same as each other, or the length of the catalyst layer 2B in the longitudinal direction is shorter than that of the catalyst layer 2A.
