A NO.sub.x storage catalyst includes CHA zeolite, a transition metal ion-exchanged in the CHA zeolite, and a rare earth metal that is different the transition metal and is supported on the CHA zeolite. A method for preparing a NO.sub.x storage catalyst includes preparing a synthetic mother liquid including a zeolite raw material as a source of silica and alumina, a structure-inducing material, a complexing material, and a solvent, reacting the synthetic mother liquid to prepare a CHA zeolite, and supporting a transition metal and a rare earth metal that is different from the transition metal on the prepared CHA zeolite.

The present disclosure provides catalyst compositions for NO.sub.x conversion and wall-flow filter substrates comprising such catalyst compositions. Certain catalyst compositions include a zeolite with sufficient Cu exchanged into cation sites thereof to give a Cu/Al ratio of 0.1 to 0.5 and a CuO loading of 1 to 15 wt. %; and a copper trapping component (e.g., alumina) including a plurality of particles having a D.sub.90 particle size of about 0.5 to 20 microns in a concentration of about 1 to 20 wt. %. The zeolite and copper trapping component can be in the same washcoat layer or can be in different washcoat layers (such that the copper trapping component serves as a pre-coating on the wall-flow filter substrate).

Described are catalyst materials and catalytic articles comprising a metal exchanged SAPO material comprising a plurality of substitutional sites consisting essentially of Si(4Al) sites and substantially free of Si(0Al) sites. The materials and catalytic articles are useful in methods and systems to catalyze the reduction of nitrogen oxides in the presence of a reductant.

An oxidation catalyst composite, methods, and systems for the treatment of exhaust gas emissions from a diesel engine are described. More particularly, described is an oxidation catalyst composite including a first oxidation component comprising a first refractory metal oxide support, palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt); a NO.sub.x storage component comprising one or more of alumina, silica, titania, ceria, or manganese; and a second oxidation component comprising a second refractory metal oxide, a zeolite, and Pt. The oxidation catalyst composite is sulfur tolerant, adsorbs NOx and thermally releases the stored NO.sub.x at temperature less than 350 C.
