Claim 0:
1. A battery comprising:
a cathode made of a bicontinuous body having a three-dimensional network structure in which a plurality of nanostructures are integrated by noncovalent bonds and having a flexible structure in which bonded portions of the nanostructures are deformable;
an anode;
an electrolyte made of a salt and sandwiched between the cathode; and
a catalyst attached on a surface of the cathode and configured to promote discharge on the surface of the cathode,
wherein the catalyst is made of a hydrate of an oxide of at least one metal selected from calcium, iron, zinc, copper, and molybdenum;
each of the plurality of nanostructures is a nanofiber constituted by bacteria cellulose, and the bicontinuous body is carbonized and has a distortion of 50% or more at elastic limit.
