An exhaust gas cleaner which can attain an improvement in the efficiency of particulate filter regeneration and has excellent durability. The exhaust gas cleaner, which purifies an exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion engine, comprises: a gas channel through which the exhaust gas flows; and a DPF (17) disposed in the gas channel and having many pores. The DPF (17) has an introduction surface (171) which comes into contact with the exhaust gas, the surface (171) having been almost wholly coated with a microporous material (18) having micropores with a smaller pore diameter than the pores. This microporous material (18) comprises a support made of an oxygen-storing/releasing oxide having one or more elements selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth metal elements, transition metal elements, Group-12 elements, and Group-13 elements and a silver-containing catalyst deposited on the support.

1. An exhaust gas cleaner that purifies exhaust gas emitted from an internal combustion engine, the exhaust gas cleaner comprising: a gas channel in which exhaust gas flows; anda particulate filter that is provided in the gas channel and in which a plurality of pores are formed,wherein an inlet surface of the particulate filter, which the exhaust gas contacts, is covered over a substantial entirety thereof with a microporous body formed by micropores having a pore diameter smaller than the pores, wherein the microporous body has a porosity that is higher than the particulate filter and is at least 45%, at least 95% of the micropores of the microporous body have a pore diameter value measured by mercury porosimetry of less than 7 μm, and the thickness of the microporous body is at least 0.1 μm and no more than 50 μm, andwherein the microporous body includes a carrier composed of an oxide with an oxygen storage/release property containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of alkali earth metal elements, transition metal elements, periodic group 12 elements, and periodic group 13 elements, and a catalyst containing Ag and at least one transition metal element selected from the group consisting of Ru, Pd, and Pt, where the catalyst is supported on the carrier. 2. The exhaust gas cleaner according to claim 1 wherein the oxide includes a composite oxide. 3. The exhaust gas cleaner according to claim 2, wherein the composite oxide is at least one type selected from the group consisting of fluorite, perovskite-type, spinel-type, rutile-type, delafossite-type, magnetoplumbite-type, and ilmenite-type.
