Catalytic Converter FAQs
How does Catalytic Converters work?
Catalytic converters work by using catalysts to initiate reactions that turn harmful emissions from a car’s engine into less harmful gases. These catalysts, typically made of platinum, palladium, and rhodium, are coated onto a ceramic honeycomb structure that increases the surface area available for reactions. As exhaust gases pass through the converter, the catalysts promote chemical reactions that convert carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen, respectively, thereby reducing the vehicle’s environmental impact.
