In addition, many catalysts have been proposed for purifying the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines, and some of them are in practical use, but most of these catalysts have metals or metal oxides as catalyst components supported on the carrier. These are used to fill the converter installed in the exhaust manifold. Furthermore, expensive metals such as platinum are often used. In exhaust gas purification using these catalysts, it is necessary to raise the temperature of the exhaust gas and pass it through the catalyst layer, and due to changes in the condition of the exhaust gas, there is a risk of catalyst burnout, scattering, etc., and pressure loss, etc. Due to this problem, it is difficult to achieve sufficient exhaust gas purification effects.

The reason for the decrease in fuel consumption is not clear, but it is presumed as follows.In other words, the intake air collides with the catalyst of the present invention, and the fuel becomes fine particles and molecules, and the catalyst passes through the heat transfer line from the exhaust port side. It is presumed that this heat promotes the vaporization of the fuel, and that the contact of intake air with the surface of the catalyst gives it activity and enables complete combustion.
Further, although only qualitative measurements have been obtained regarding the purification of exhaust gas, by bringing the exhaust gas into contact with the catalyst of the present invention, harmful gases such as nitrogen oxides are reduced.
