BATTERY

A cell with excellent load characteristics is provided.The cell of the present invention includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The positive electrode includes a porous carbon sheet and a positive electrode active material layer containing a positive electrode active material that is held in pores of the porous carbon sheet. It is preferable that the positive electrode active material layer covers the surface of the porous carbon sheet facing the separator, that a part of the positive electrode active material layer is held in the pores of the porous carbon sheet, and that the surface of the positive electrode active material layer facing the separator has an arithmetic average roughness (Ra) of 10 pm or less or a maximum height roughness (Rz) of 50 pm or less.
