Your vehicles catalytic converter is part of the exhaust emissions control system. It works by passing exhaust over a catalyst material that shaped like a honeycomb. This catalyst is made up of palladium, platinum, or rhodium (other metals are used as well). These are placed over a ceramic substrate. As exhaust from your engine moves through the catalytic converter so of the emissions are converted to less-harmful pollutants.
