Enhancements in the thermal stability of three-way catalysts have been achieved by: 1) developing improved methods for the incorporation of ceria into catalyst formulations and 2) identifying a proprietary stabilizer which reduces the rate of ceria sintering at high temperature. Improvements in thermal stability are demonstrated by comparing the FTP and engine dynamometer performance of new formulations with a standard formulation after aging on several high temperature engine dynamometer cycles.
