The carbon catalyst includes iron, exhibits a weight reduction ratio in the temperature range from 200° C. to 1,200° C. of 12.0 wt % or less measured by thermogravimetric analysis in a nitrogen atmosphere, and has a carbon structure that exhibits, in X-ray absorption fine structure analysis of a K absorption edge of the iron, the following (a) and/or (b): (a) a ratio of a normalized absorbance at 7,130 eV to a normalized absorbance at 7,110 eV is 7.0 or more; and (b) a ratio of a normalized absorbance at 7,135 eV to a normalized absorbance at 7,110 eV is 7.0 or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A carbon catalyst, comprising iron, exhibiting a weight reduction ratio in the temperature range from 200° C. to 1,200° C. of 12.0 wt % or less measured by thermogravimetric analysis in a nitrogen atmosphere, and comprising a carbon structure that exhibits, in X-ray absorption fine structure analysis of a K absorption edge of the iron, the following (a) and/or (b): (a) a ratio of a normalized absorbance at 7,130 eV to a normalized absorbance at 7,110 eV is 7.0 or more; and (b) a ratio of a normalized absorbance at 7,135 eV to a normalized absorbance at 7,110 eV is 7.0 or more. 2. The carbon catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon catalyst has a ratio of a mesopore volume to a total pore volume of 20% or more. 3. The carbon catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon catalyst has a content of the iron of 0.01 wt % or more measured by inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. 4. The carbon catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon catalyst exhibits a nitrogen atom content of 1.0 wt % or more measured by elemental analysis based on a combustion method. 5. The carbon catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon catalyst exhibits a ratio of a nitrogen atom content to a carbon atom content of 1.1% or more measured by elemental analysis based on a combustion method. 6. The carbon catalyst according to claim 1 , further comprising a metal other than the iron. 7. The carbon catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon catalyst has a specific surface area of 800 m 2 /g or more measured by a BET method. 8. A battery electrode, comprising the carbon catalyst of claim 1 . 9. A battery, comprising the battery electrode of claim 8 .
