Layered platinum group metal composites: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Exhaust backpressure and thermal degradation increase fuel consumption and maintenance costs. Precise control of the active metal dispersion and washcoat architecture mitigates these efficiency losses.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Layered platinum group metal composites?

Harmful tailpipe emission accumulation

(50)evidences

Untreated combustion byproducts and secondary pollutants like ammonia escape into the atmosphere. Eliminating these residuals ensures compliance with stringent environmental regulations and prevents secondary pollution.

Inadequate small engine emission control

(30)evidences

Incomplete conversion of toxic emissions during rapid engine transients or high-flow conditions. Reducing untreated exhaust leakage ensures compliance with stringent environmental standards.

Thermal catalyst deactivation

(7)evidences

Low conversion rates of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons in diesel exhaust. Improving oxidation efficiency ensures compliance with stringent environmental regulations.
