Market: catalytic converters, approximately $6 billion annually

Challenge: new catalysts that can reduce emissions (particulate matter PM and NOx) also at lowest possible exhaust temperature (during the warm-up)

Product: nano metal particles alone or in combination (Fe, Ni, Co) placed on high surface area supports and/or combinations (alumina, ceria, zirconia, titania, zeolites)

D+ Process advantages: low cost, low temperature process, reduced processing time, environmentally friendly. Coatings and impregnation

Industrial contact: on going evaluation with a leading catalyst company
