The invention discloses a multifunctional catalyst for a diesel vehicle and a preparation method, and relates to the field of catalyst preparation, the multifunctional catalyst for the diesel vehicle comprises a
precious metal coating and an SCR
coating which are arranged in a layered mode, and the SCR
coating is located above the
precious metal coating; the SCR coating is of a sectional structure and comprises an SCR coating front section and an SCR coating rear section. The problems that an existing catalyst is low in
NOx efficiency during
cold start, coating regeneration after HC / SO2 poisoning cannot be achieved at the same time, low N2O selectivity cannot be ensured, and unreacted NH3 cannot be treated at the same time are solved, by means of the layered and sectional type coating structure design, diesel oil or other
hydrocarbon fuel sprayed backwards by a
system can be rapidly oxidized through the bottom layer
precious metal coating, reaction heat is generated, and the catalyst can be recycled. The temperature of the whole catalyst is increased, adsorbed HC and
sulfide are oxidized and removed, and the SCR activity is recovered. And unreacted NH3 can be treated, so that the arrangement space of a post-treatment catalyst is saved. The upper-layer sectional type coating structure not only can efficiently convert
NOx at a low temperature, but also can keep relatively low N2O selectivity.
