Abstract
A honeycomb structure including a honeycomb having porous partition walls extending between inflow and outflow end faces to define cells, an outermost peripheral wall, and a pair of electrodes disposed on a side surface of the honeycomb. Each electrode is formed in a strip shape extending in a direction of the cells. In a cross section orthogonal to the extending direction of the cells, one electrode is disposed on a side opposed to the other electrode. The honeycomb has an outer peripheral region including the outer peripheral wall, a central region, and an intermediate region. An average electric resistivity A of a material constituted of the outer peripheral region, an average electric resistivity B of a material constituted of the central region and an average electric resistivity of C of a material constituted of the intermediate region satisfy the relationship: A≤B<C.
