Catalytic converters are devices used to treat exhaust before coming out. It ensures that the harmful by-products of your engine’s combustion are converted to harmless substances. The catalytic converter contains two catalysts: the reduction catalyst and the oxidation catalyst. The reduction catalyst converts the nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and oxygen using the precious metal palladium and rhodium. The oxidation catalyst then reduces the unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide by burning (oxidizing) them over a palladium and platinum catalyst. The oxygen sensor is the one responsible for making sure there is enough oxygen to burn the hydrocarbons and CO. The sensor also aid in the monitoring fuel-and-air ratio so that the computer can make its necessary adjustments.
