Investigation of non-precious metals for the development of low cost catalytic converter

This paper discusses the uses of non-precious metals in catalytic converters to bring down the cost without sacrificing the performance capability. Copper powder and nickel catalyst were chosen as the alternative catalysts to reduce the use of precious group metals (PGMs) platinum, palladium, and r...
