The CeO 2/ZrO 2 catalyst possesses excellent oxygen storage activity at 373 K after reduction above 1173 K although the oxygen storage of CeO 2/Al 2O 3 catalyst after reduction above 1173 K is poor because of the formation of CeAlO 3. Consequently, the oxygen storage on the CeO 2/ZrO 2 catalyst smoothly occurs from low temperatures when the catalyst is reduced even at high temperatures.展开更多
