The catalyst used in catalytic converters is finely divided

The catalyst used in catalytic converters is usually a combination of precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium. These metals are finely divided to increase their surface area, which enhances their ability to speed up the chemical reactions that reduce harmful emissions from the vehicle's exhaust. The metals are coated onto a honeycomb-like structure inside the converter to further increase the surface area.

The metals are coated onto a honeycomb-like structure inside the converter to further increase the surface area. The exhaust gases pass over these metals, and the harmful substances in the gases react with the metals to produce less harmful substances like nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
