Abstract

According to one embodiment, a battery electrode includes an active material layer and a current collector is provided. The active material layer contains particles of a monoclinic β-type titanium complex oxide and particles of a lithium titanate having a spinel structure. When a particle size frequency distribution of particles contained in the active material layer is measured by the laser diffraction and scattering method, a first peak Pappears in a range of 0.3 μm to 3 μm and a second peak Pappears in a range of 5 μm to 20 μm in the frequency distribution diagram. The ratio F/Fof the frequency Fof the first peak Pto the frequency Fof the second peak Pis 0.4 to 2.3.
