What Is a Catalytic Converter Inside?

The term catalytic converter inside describes the internal components and performance features of catalytic converters that transform harmful exhaust gases into cleaner emissions. For a detailed breakdown, our guide explains what a catalytic converter is made up of, including the catalytic element and the precious metals—platinum, palladium, and rhodium—that accelerate chemical reactions converting carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen. At Catman, emphasis is placed on high-quality catalysts and substrates to ensure reliable, durable, and efficient emissions control. Learn more about the composition and function of catalytic converters.

Outside information indicates that the catalytic converter’s internal structure typically comprises a substrate (ceramic or metal monolith) coated with catalysts and protected by a housing; this design maximizes gas contact with catalytic surfaces while withstanding harsh operating conditions.
