Exhaust gas purification device
Provided is an exhaust gas purification device that allows improving an exhaust gas purification performance. An exhaust gas purification device of the present disclosure includes a substrate and a catalyst layer disposed on the substrate. The catalyst layer contains a porous carrier, a catalytic metal that is supported by the porous carrier and belongs to platinum group, an alkaline earth metal supported by the porous carrier, and an alkaline earth metal not supported by the porous carrier. At least a part of the alkaline earth metal supported by the porous carrier is supported inside the porous carrier.
1. An exhaust gas purification device comprising:
a substrate; and
a catalyst layer disposed on the substrate,
wherein the catalyst layer contains a porous carrier, a catalytic metal that is supported by the porous carrier and belongs to platinum group, a first group of an alkaline earth metal supported by the porous carrier, and a second group of an alkaline earth metal not supported by the porous carrier, and
wherein at least a part of the first group of the alkaline earth metal supported by the porous carrier is supported inside the porous carrier;
wherein the catalyst layer contains the first group of the alkaline earth metal supported by the porous carrier as a sulfate of the first group of the alkaline earth metal supported by the porous carrier, and contains the second group of the alkaline earth metal not supported by the porous carrier as a sulfate of the second group of the alkaline earth metal not supported by the porous carrier;
wherein each of the sulfates of the first and second groups of the alkaline earth metals is a sulfate of Ba;
wherein a weight ratio of the first group of the sulfate of the alkaline earth metal supported by the porous carrier relative to a total weight of the porous carrier, the catalytic metal, and the sulfate of the first group of the alkaline earth metal supported by the porous carrier is in a range of 7 weight % or more and 11 weight % or less,
wherein a proportion of the sulfate supported inside the porous carrier in the sulfate of the first group of the alkaline earth metal supported by the porous carrier is in a range of 70 weight % or more, and
wherein a total weight of the sulfate of the first group of the alkaline earth metal supported by the porous carrier and the sulfate of the second group of the alkaline earth metal not supported by the porous carrier is four times or more of a weight of the catalytic metal.
