Abstract
This joint invention developed by the University of Central Florida and BASF is a method to stabilize platinum sintering and reduce the aging with novel material designs for catalysts, allowing platinum group metals (PGM) to be effectively used in three-way catalytic converter (TWC) applications.
Stage of Development
Prototype available.
Benefit
Significantly improves platinum (Pt) efficiency after three-way catalytic converter aging relative to an Al2O3-supported Pt catalystEnables faster and more effective process development and integration of devicesMarket Application
Low-temperature vehicle emission controlCatalytic converters
