Abstract: Provided are a carbon catalyst, an electrode, and a battery that exhibit excellent activity. A carbon catalyst according to one embodiment of the present invention has a carbon structure in which area ratios of three peaks fbroad, fmiddle, and fnarrow obtained by separating a peak in the vicinity of a diffraction angle of 26° in an X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by powder X-ray diffraction satisfy the following conditions (a) to (c): (a) fbroad: 75% or more and 96% or less; (b) fmiddle: 3.2% or more and 15% or less; and (c) fnarrow: 0.4% or more and 15% or less.

Abstract: A carbon catalyst, a battery electrode, and a battery, each exhibits excellent catalytic performance. A carbon catalyst contains two kinds of transition metals and has such a carbon structure that an interplanar spacing d002, which is determined from a Bragg angle of one of three diffraction peaks fbroad, fmiddle, and fnarrow obtained by separating a diffraction peak around a diffraction angle (2?) of 26° in an X-ray diffraction pattern of powder X-ray diffraction with a CuK? ray, the one diffraction peak being the diffraction peak fbroad, is 0.374 nm or more.
