Catalytic converter
A catalytic converter is designed to reduce pollutants from your car exhaust. They are typically trying to reduce the amount of carbon monoxide, VOC's (volatile organic compounds) and NOX (nitrogen oxides). The converter itself may be made of platinum and is designed to have as large as possible surface area to maximise possible reaction sites. A catalyst helps the breakdown of the toxic emissions but does not take part in the reaction itself. Catalytic converters have been criticised because although they reduce emissions of toxic gases they decrease fuel efficiency and cause the car to emit more 'greenhouse' gases.
