Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The method for producing an exhaust gas purification catalyst according to the present invention includes sputtering a target material containing Nb and Rh to produce fine composite-metal particles containing Nb and Rh.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for producing an exhaust gas purification catalyst, the method comprising sputtering a target material containing Nb and Rh to produce fine composite-metal particles containing Nb and Rh. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising supporting the fine composite-metal particles on a powdered support. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the target material is a micro-mixed target material obtained by mixing Nb powder and Rh powder, and then by molding and sintering the resultant. 4 . An exhaust gas purification catalyst comprising a plurality of fine composite-metal particles containing Nb and Rh. 5 . The exhaust gas purification catalyst according to claim 4 , further comprising a powdered support, wherein the fine composite-metal particles are supported on the powdered support. 6 . The exhaust gas purification catalyst according to claim 5 , wherein the powdered support is a powdered support selected from the group consisting of SiO 2 , ZrO 2 , CeO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , solid solutions thereof, and combinations thereof. 7 . The exhaust gas purification catalyst according to claim 4 , wherein the average Nb content in the plurality of the fine composite-metal particles is 1 atomic % or more and 30 atomic % or less. 8 . The exhaust gas purification catalyst according to claim 7 , wherein 70% or more of the fine composite-metal particles, based on the number of the particles, have a Nb content in the range of from 40% to 160% of the average Nb content in the plurality of the fine composite-metal particles. 9 . The exhaust gas purification catalyst according to claim 4 , wherein 70% or more of the fine composite-metal particles, based on the number of the particles, have a particle size in the range of from 60% to 140% of the average particle size of the plurality of the fine composite-metal particles. 10 . The exhaust gas purification catalyst according to claim 4 , wherein the exhaust gas purification catalyst is a catalyst for purifying NOx. 11 . A method for purifying exhaust gas, wherein the exhaust gas purification catalyst according to claim 10 is brought into contact with an exhaust gas containing NOx in a lean atmosphere, and thereby reducing NOx, to purify the exhaust gas.
