Abstract: The Ce0.45Zr0.45Y0.05La0.05O2 oxygen storage material and La-stabilized alumina (La-Al2O3) were prepared. After aging at1000℃ for5 h, Ce0.45Zr0.45Y0.05La0.05O2 maintains superior textual and oxygen storage properties, and La-Al2O3 shows superior textual properties. Medium-coupled Pt-Rh monolithic catalysts for condensed natural gas (CNG) vehicles were prepared by impregnating Ce0.45Zr0.45Y0.05La0.05O2 and La-Al2O3 with H2PtCl6 and RhCl3 solutions and then washcoated on the cordierite honeycomb. The medium-coupled catalysts showed high activity at low temperature and thermal stability. The results from the emission test of JETTA-MT CNG vehicle indicated that the prepared catalysts were capable of fulfilling Euro Ⅲ requirements.
