The thermal deactivation of Pd/CeO 2 -ZrO 2 (Pd/CZ) three-way catalysts was studied via nanoscale structural characterization and catalytic kinetic analysis to obtain a fundamental modeling concept for predicting the real catalyst lifetime. The catalysts were engine-aged at 600-1100 °C and used for chassis dynamometer driving test cycles. Observations using an electron microscope and chemisorption experiments showed that the Pd particle size significantly changed in the range of 10-550 nm as a function of aging temperatures. The deactivated catalyst structure was modeled using different-sized hemispherical Pd particles that were in intimate contact with the support surface. Therefore, Pd/CZ contained two types of surface Pd sites residing on the surface of a hemisphere (Pd s ) and circular periphery of the Pd/CZ interface (Pd b ), whereas a reference catalyst, Pd/Al 2 O 3 , contained only Pd s . In all Pd particle sizes investigated herein, Pd/CZ exhibited higher reaction rates than Pd/Al 2 O 3 , which nonlinearly increased with increasing slope as the weight-based number of surface-exposed Pd atoms ([Pd s ] + [Pd b ]) increased. This finding contrasted with that of Pd/Al 2 O 3 , where the reaction rate linearly increased with [Pd s ]. When the Pd s sites in both catalysts were equivalent in terms of their specific activities, the activity difference between Pd/CZ and Pd/Al 2 O 3 corresponded to the contribution from Pd b , where oxygen storage/release to/from CZ played a key role. This contribution linearly increased with [Pd b ] and therefore decreased with Pd sintering. Although both Pd s and Pd b sites showed nearly constant turnover frequencies despite the difference in the Pd particle size, the values for Pd b were more than 2 orders of magnitude greater than those for Pd s when assuming a single-atom width one-dimensional Pd b row model. These results suggest that the thermal deterioration of the three-phase boundary site, where Pd, CZ, and the gas phase meet, determines the activity under surface-controlled conditions.
