CARBON CATALYST, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME, FUEL CELL, ELECTRIC STORAGE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USING THE CATALYST

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbon catalyst having sufficiently high catalytic activity and high performance.

SOLUTION: In the carbon catalyst wherein nitrogen is introduced, the introduced nitrogen has an energy peak area ratio between a first nitrogen atom having a binding energy of an electron in the 1s orbital of 398.5± 1.0 eV and a second nitrogen atom having a binding energy of an electron in the 1s orbital of 401± 1.0 eV, namely (first nitrogen atom)/(second nitrogen atom) of not more than 1.2.
