Mischleiterkatalysatoren
Mischleiterkatalysatoren, also known as catalytic converters, are devices used in internal combustion engines to reduce the toxicity of exhaust emissions. They are typically made of a ceramic honeycomb structure coated with a catalyst, usually platinum, palladium, and rhodium. The catalyst works by converting harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and hydrocarbons (HC) into less harmful substances like carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and water (H2O).
The process of converting pollutants is called catalytic conversion, which occurs when the exhaust gases pass
Mischleiterkatalysatoren are essential components in modern vehicles, especially those with internal combustion engines. They are designed
However, catalytic converters can be sensitive to certain conditions, such as high temperatures and the presence
