Coated gasoline particulate filters (cGPFs) that are produced according to varied material compositions and catalyst configurations are disclosed. The cGPFs include FeCe (rich)-activated Rh compositions that provide greater catalytic functionality. These cGPFs are incorporated within engine systems as components of TWC systems for controlling and reducing engine exhaust emissions.
