| abstract |
The present disclosure provides an exhaust gas purification catalyst having an improved low-temperature activity, which comprises a substrate and a catalyst coat layer formed on the substrate, wherein the catalyst coat layer contains Rh fine particles and a promoter comprising a Ce—Zr-based composite oxide and a Zr-based composite oxide not containing cerium oxide, wherein the Rh fine particles have an average particle size measured by a transmission electron microscope observation of 1.0 nm or more to 2.0 nm or less, and a standard deviation σ of the particle size of 0.8 nm or less, and wherein the Rh fine particles are supported on each of the Ce—Zr-based composite oxide and the Zr-based composite oxide not containing cerium oxide. |
