A catalytic converter with excellent OSC performance and NOx purification performance. The catalytic converter includes a substrate with a cell structure and catalyst layer. The catalyst layer includes lower and upper catalyst layers. The upper catalyst layer includes a zirconia compound support with rhodium carried thereon that contains zirconia, lanthanum oxide, and yttrium oxide; an alumina compound without rhodium carried thereon that contains alumina and lanthanum oxide; and a ceria-zirconia-based composite oxide containing ceria, zirconia, lanthanum oxide, and neodymium oxide. The lower catalyst layer includes an alumina compound support with platinum carried thereon that contains alumina and lanthanum oxide that are the same materials as those of the alumina compound of the upper catalyst layer; and a ceria-zirconia-based composite oxide without platinum carried thereon that contains ceria, zirconia, lanthanum oxide, and neodymium oxide that are the same materials as those of the ceria-zirconia-based composite oxide of the upper catalyst layer. |
