Chemistry World : Researchers in the US have shown that perovskites —a class of mixed oxide minerals—can perform as well as platinum in certain types of catalytic converter for removing pollutants from diesel exhaust. Although it is early days in the research, the finding could eventually result in cheaper, more robust catalytic converters for diesel engines that do not rely on expensive and scarce platinum group metals.
