Abstract in another language

In order to meet the strict emission regulations, gasoline operated vehicles are equipped with three-way catalysts (TWC) and lambda sensors are applied to control the exhaust gas aftertreatment system. Since the TWC achieves maximum conversion of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides at λ ≈ 1, λ is measured by lambda-probes upstream and downstream of the catalyst and is readjusted if required (λ: normalized air-to-fuel ratio). This leads to an oscillating air-to-fuel-ratio that is damped by oxygen storage components in the washcoat of the TWC (ceria-zirconia mixed oxides). These ceria-based materials store oxygen under lean atmospheres (λ > 1) and release oxygen under rich conditions (λ < 1).

In the present contribution, aspects of a novel approach to determine the oxygen loading of a TWC by a contactless measurement and in-situ with the help of radio frequency (RF) without lambda-probes is presented.
