When sizes of particles supporting a catalyst metal remain relatively large but sizes of particles not supporting a catalyst metal are minimized among metal oxide particles included in a catalyst coating layer, it is possible to decrease a thickness of the catalyst coating layer while maintaining durability and improve gas diffusibility of the coating layer. Therefore, a thickness of the catalyst coating is decreased without decreasing durability and a catalyst can exhibit high exhaust gas purification performance even under high load conditions.

Composites of mixed metal oxides for an exhaust gas purifying catalyst comprise the following co-precipitated materials by weight of the composite: zirconia in an amount in the range of 55-99%; titania in an amount in the range of 1-25%; a promoter and/or a stabilizer in an amount in the range of 0-20%. These composites are effective as supports for platinum group metals (PGMs), in particular rhodium.
