Abstract:
The object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust gas purifying catalyst that can achieve high purification performance while suppressing H2S emissions. The object is solved by an exhaust gas purifying catalyst in which the top layer of a catalyst coating layer comprises a ceria-zirconia composite oxide having a pyrochlore-type ordered array structure, in which the ceria-zirconia composite oxide contains at least one additional element selected from the group consisting of praseodymium, lanthanum, and yttrium at 0.5 to 5.0 mol % in relation to the total cation amount, and the molar ratio of (cerium+additional element):(zirconium) is within the range from 43:57 to 48:52.

Abstract:
A ceria-zirconia composite oxide includes at least one of lanthanum, yttrium, and praseodymium. A rate of a total content of the at least one rare earth element to a total content of cerium and zirconium is 0.1 at % to 4.0 at %. A content of the rare earth element present in near-surface regions, which are at a distance of less than 50 nm from surfaces of primary particles of the ceria-zirconia composite oxide, accounts for 90 at % or more of the total content of the rare earth element. An average particle size of the primary particles of the ceria-zirconia composite oxide is 2.2 μm to 4.5 μm. After a predetermined durability test, the intensity ratio I(14/29) of a diffraction line at 2θ=14.5° to a diffraction line at 2θ=29° and the intensity ratio I(28/29) of a diffraction line at 2θ=28.5° to the diffraction line at 2θ=29° respectively satisfy the following conditions: I(14/29)≧0.02, and I(28/29)≦0.08.
