ELECTRODE AND AIR SECONDARY BATTERY USING THE SAME

Japanese Patent JP2015207515

A

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrode which makes possible to offer an air secondary battery having superior charge/discharge activity.SOLUTION: An electrode comprises: a metal complex capable of reducing oxygen; and a layered metal compound capable of oxidizing water. The metal complex capable of reducing oxygen is a multi-nucleus metal complex. The metal complex capable of reducing oxygen includes, as a center metal, a first transition metal atom or ion. The layered metal compound capable of oxidizing water is a layered double hydroxide expressed by [MM(OH)][AmHO](where M represents a transition metal element; Arepresents an n-valent anion; x satisfies the expression, 0
