<p>A catalytic material effective for the reduction of NOx and the oxidation of at least carbon monoxide includes an oxygen storage component that provides superior oxygen storage function. The oxygen storage component includes an intimately combined mixed oxides including cerium, neodymium and zirconium. Typically, the ceria constitutes more than about 30 percent by weight of the ceria plus zirconia in the intimately combined mixed oxide, e.g., from about 32 to 44 weight percent. Preferably, the intimately combined mixed oxide also includes up to about 26 percent neodymia by weight of the ceria, e.g., from 18.6 to 23.5 percent. The intimately combined mixed oxide may be a co-formed material that may be prepared by, e.g., co-precipitating compounds of zirconium and the rare earth metal and calcining the co-precipitate.</p> |
