Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An oxygen storage material comprises three pyrochlore-type composite oxides which are a ceria-zirconia composite oxide, a lanthana-zirconia composite oxide, and a ceria-zirconia-lanthana composite oxide, and which coexist together, wherein the oxygen storage material contains: first secondary particles made of the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia composite oxide and the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia-lanthana composite oxide; and second secondary particles made of the pyrochlore-type lanthana-zirconia composite oxide and the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia-lanthana composite oxide.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An oxygen storage material comprising three pyrochlore-type composite oxides which are a ceria-zirconia composite oxide, a lanthana-zirconia composite oxide, and a ceria-zirconia-lanthana composite oxide, and which coexist together, wherein the oxygen storage material contains: first secondary particles made of the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia composite oxide and the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia-lanthana composite oxide; and second secondary particles made of the pyrochlore-type lanthana-zirconia composite oxide and the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia-lanthana composite oxide. 2. The oxygen storage material according to claim 1 , wherein in the entire oxygen storage material, a content of cerium relative to a total amount of cerium and lanthanum in the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia-lanthana composite oxide is 0.30 to 0.90 in an atomic ratio [Ce/(Ce+La)]. 3. The oxygen storage material according to claim 2 , wherein in the entire oxygen storage material, a content of cerium relative to a total amount of cerium and lanthanum in the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia-lanthana composite oxide is 0.50 to 0.90 in an atomic ratio [Ce/(Ce+La)]. 4. The oxygen storage material according to claim 1 , wherein in the entire oxygen storage material, a content of cerium relative to a total amount of cerium and zirconium in the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia composite oxide is 0.40 to 0.70 in an atomic ratio [Ce/(Ce+Zr)]. 5. The oxygen storage material according to claim 1 , wherein in the entire oxygen storage material, a content of lanthanum relative to a total amount of lanthanum and zirconium in the pyrochlore-type lanthana-zirconia composite oxide is 0.40 to 0.60 in an atomic ratio [La/(La+Zr)]. 6. The oxygen storage material according to claim 1 , wherein a content ratio of the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia composite oxide is 30 to 80% by mass, a content ratio of the pyrochlore-type lanthana-zirconia composite oxide is 10 to 40% by mass, and a content ratio of the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia-lanthana composite oxide is 10 to 60% by mass, relative to a total amount of the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia composite oxide, the pyrochlore-type lanthana-zirconia composite oxide, and the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia-lanthana composite oxide. 7. A method for producing an oxygen storage material comprising: performing a reduction treatment at a temperature of 1200 to 1600° C. on a raw material mixture containing a pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia composite oxide and a lanthana-zirconia composite oxide in a mass ratio of 1:8 to 8:1, thereby obtaining an oxygen storage material including three pyrochlore-type oxides which are a ceria-zirconia composite oxide, a lanthana-zirconia composite oxide, and a ceria-zirconia-lanthana composite oxide, and which coexist together. 8. The method for producing an oxygen storage material according to claim 7 , wherein the lanthana-zirconia composite oxide in the raw material mixture has no pyrochlore structure. 9. The method for producing an oxygen storage material according to claim 7 , wherein in the raw material mixture, a content of cerium relative to a total amount of cerium and zirconium in the pyrochlore-type ceria-zirconia composite oxide is 0.40 to 0.90 in an atomic ratio [Ce/(Ce+Zr)]. 10. The method for producing an oxygen storage material according to claim 7 , wherein in the raw material mixture, a content of lanthanum relative to a total amount of lanthanum and zirconium in the lanthana-zirconia composite oxide is 0.40 to 0.60 in an atomic ratio [La/(La+Zr)].
