Automotive Catalyst
Automotive catalysts typically consist of a coating of PGMs on a substrate. The earlier oxidation catalysts used only platinum and palladium, but the newer three-way catalysts use various combinations of platinum, palladium and rhodium. The surface of automotive catalysts is very large and the average internal surface area in carious catalyst convertor is equal to the size of three football fields
