There is disclosed a honeycomb structure capable of using as a catalyst carrier, which suitably functions as a heater by applying a voltage thereto, and where a bonding layer to bond honeycomb segments together is hard to break. A honeycomb structure includes a honeycomb segment bonded body 4 where a plurality of honeycomb segments 6 are bonded together by a bonding layer 7, and a pair of electrode members 21 disposed on a side surface 5 of the honeycomb segment bonded body 4, wherein each of the pair of electrode members 21 is formed into a band shape extending in an extending direction of cells 2 of the honeycomb segments 6, in a cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the cells 2, the one electrode member 21 is disposed on an opposite side across the center of the honeycomb segment bonded body 4 with respect to another electrode member 21, and in at least a part of the bonding layer 7, inorganic fibers made of an oxide are included in a porous body where particles of silicon carbide as an aggregate are bound with silicon as a binding material in a state where pores are held among the particles. |
