The catalyst called a Passive Autocatalytic Recombiner (PAR) is required to have robustness that can maintain its activity for more than 30 years in an environment where temperature, humidity, gas concentration, etc. cannot be controlled. Here, it is expected that "An Intelligent Catalyst" for automotive emissions control exhibits excellent performance even in such a harsh environment. The intelligent catalyst is the nanostructure designed perovskite catalyst that has the rejuvenating function instead of preventing aging. The authors emphasize that the technology developed as a catalyst for automobiles is expected to be useful not only in other industries but also as a relief technology from the national crisis.
