Mazda Reduces Metal Content in their Catalytic Converters
Particularly due to the metal content of catalytic converters that make them continuously prone to being stolen, the people from Mazda has searched for ways to reduce the metal content of their catalytic converters without sacrificing the said component’s functionality. Through making use of nanotechnology, Mazda has now developed a catalytic converter catalyst that has around 70 to 90 percent less platinum and palladium in its composition. Although these two metals help a lot in the purifying process, a considerable reduction of these metals, surprisingly, does not reduce the catalyst’s efficiency.
In the past, the costly metal particles are attached to the base material and will come together upon contact with heat that considerable reduces the surface of the particles are located and along with it, the catalyst’s efficiency. In order to prevent so much loss of the surface that is covered, auto manufacturers resulted to using more of these purifying materials on the catalytic converter. In so doing, when the area heats up—as it normally would upon continuous exposure to the vehicle’s emission—more area will be covered even if these metal particles clutter together.
With the catalytic converter catalyst that Mazda recently came up with, Mazda makes use of these metal particles with five nanometers in diameter that makes it possible for these metals to be securely embedded in the base material. This, in turn, enables these particles to stay put and not to cluster. With this breakthrough, Mazda is able to make use of less of the platinum and palladium metals that makes the catalytic converter the perfect target of thieves. With this new Mazda catalytic converter, the people in Mazda hopes that catalytic converter theft will considerably drop in the future.
There are still no announcements on the time Mazda will start mass producing their new catalyst. However, with the urgent need for it, it will only be a matter of time before Mazda releases their innovation.
