Abstract
A honeycomb structure of the present invention includes a honeycomb structure body and a pair of electrode member arranged at a side surface of the honeycomb structure body. The honeycomb structure body has an electrical resistivity of 1 to 200 Ωcm, and the respective pair of electrode members is formed into a band-like shape extending in a direction in which the cells extend. In a cross section perpendicular to the cell extending direction, one of the electrode members is arranged opposite to another of the electrode members sandwiching a center of the honeycomb structure body. One or more of slits, which being open to a side surface, are formed at the honeycomb structure body. At least the one slit is formed so as not to intersect with a straight line connecting center portions of the respective pair of electrode members in the cross section perpendicular to the cell extending direction.
