Methods for preparing ceria-zirconia (CZO) materials calcined with precious group metals (PGM) include calcining a CZO material with PGM. The calcined CZO/PGM catalyst is reduced at a temperature of ≥1000° C. to ≤1100° C. for a time of ≥0.5 hour to 1 hour to form a (CZO/PGM)-pyrochlore catalyst. The (CZO/PGM)-pyrochlore catalyst exhibits superior oxygen storage capacity characteristics as a three-way catalyst in vehicle exhaust gas systems.

An object of the present invention is to provide a heating carrier that does not heat all of exhaust gas flowing into a catalyst converter, but directly supplies, to a catalyst layer, thermal energy in the form of an instantaneous pulse to effectively activate a catalyst during a cold start-up period, and thus may reduce emission pollutants with a small amount of energy, and an exhaust gas reduction carrier having the heating carrier. In order to accomplish the object, the heating carrier of the present invention may include a main body of which the inside is formed to have a honeycomb structure, the main body being formed of a conductive ceramic material that is a nonmetallic heating element; and a catalyst layer formed by coating a first catalyst on a surface of the main body.

A carbon dioxide recovery system separates CO.sub.2 from gas containing CO.sub.2 via an electrochemical reaction. The carbon dioxide recovery system includes an electrochemical cell including a working electrode and a counter electrode. The working electrode includes CO.sub.2 adsorbent. The CO.sub.2 adsorbent adsorbs CO.sub.2 via an oxygen reduction reaction by using electrons supplied from the counter electrode to the working electrode when a first voltage is applied between the working electrode and the counter electrode. The oxygen reduction reaction produces active oxygen via reduction of O.sub.2. The CO.sub.2 adsorbent desorbs CO.sub.2 by discharging electrons from the working electrode to the counter electrode when a second voltage different from the first voltage is applied between the working electrode and the counter electrode. The CO.sub.2 adsorbent has a promoting function for promoting the oxygen reduction reaction.

Described herein are catalytic converter substrates or cores based on triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) geometries, along with methods of making and using the same.

Sulfur-resistant synergized platinum group metals (SPGM) catalysts with significant oxidation capabilities are disclosed. Catalytic layers of SPGM catalyst samples are prepared using conventional synthesis techniques to build a washcoat layer completely or substantially free of PGM material. The SPGM catalyst includes a washcoat layer comprising YMn.sub.2O.sub.5 (pseudobrookite) and an overcoat layer including a Pt/Pd composition with total PGM loading of at or below 5.0 g/ft.sup.3. Resistance to sulfur poisoning and catalytic stability is observed under 5.2 gS/L condition to assess significant improvements in NO oxidation, and HC and CO conversions.
