The chemical mechanism that occurs on the surface of an automotive catalytic converter has been deciphered thanks to an observation speed record. This performance has made it possible to characterize this key step in the reaction that ensures pollutant removal by automotive converters. The challenge is indeed considerable: to obtain a clearer understanding of the mechanisms of removal catalysts in order to improve converters and other catalysts used by the automotive industry.
