<p>A catalyst for purifying exhaust gases includes a support substrate, and a catalytic loading layer. The support substrate demarcates an exhaust-gas flow passage, an exhaust-gas inlet end and an exhaust-gas outlet end, and has an overall length between the exhaust-gas inlet end and the exhaust-gas outlet end. The catalytic loading layer is formed on a surface of the exhaust-gas flow passage, and is composed of a porous oxide support and a noble metal. The catalytic loading layer includes a coexistence area, and a rhodium area. The coexistence area occupies the overall length of the support substrate by a factor of 4/10 or less from the exhaust-gas inlet end, and is composed of rhodium and platinum loaded thereon. The rhodium area is formed toward the exhaust-gas outlet end from the coexistence area, and is composed of rhodium loaded uniformly thereon in a flow direction of the exhaust gases.</p> |
