Patent attributes
Provided is an exhaust gas purification catalyst with excellent durability against exhaust gas including a poisoning substance. The exhaust gas purification catalyst includes a porous substrate, a catalyst coating layer formed on the porous substrate, and a dummy coating layer formed on the outermost surface of the catalyst coating layer. The catalyst coating layer has a carrier and a noble metal catalyst supported on the carrier. The dummy coating layer includes a carrier having at least alumina and does not include a noble metal catalyst. The dummy coating layer is formed to have a length which, from the end on the exhaust gas inlet side, is 10% to 70% of the entire length of the catalyst coating layer along the exhaust gas flow direction.
