CARBON CATALYST, PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF SAME, AND ELECTRODE AND BATTERY EACH UTILIZING SAME

Provided is a carbon catalyst having an improved activity. The carbon catalyst is obtained by: (S1) carbonizing raw materials containing an organic compound as a carbon source, a metal, and an electrically conductive carbon material to produce a carbonized material; (S2) impregnating the carbonized material with a metal; and (S3) subjecting the carbonized material with the metal to a heat treatment.
