A mixed electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte battery includes: a first active material; a second active material that reacts with water more easily than the first active material; an organic moisture capture agent; and an organic binder that binds the first active material and the second active material. The organic moisture capture agent is present in the organic binder and the first active material has a smaller specific surface area than the second active material. Thus, the storability of the mixed electrode is improved and when the mixed electrode is applied to the battery, the cycle characteristics of the battery are improved.
