An objective is to reduce the sheet resistance and gas evolution in a battery electrode comprising a conductive intermediate layer capable of reducing or shutting off a current when overcharged. A battery electrode (12) comprises a conductive intermediate layer (123) being placed between a current collector (122) and an active layer (124) while comprising conductive particles (50) and a binder (60). The mass proportion of conductive particles (50) is equal to or larger than the mass proportion of the binder (60). Conductive particles (50) has a size distribution that exhibits a first peak with the maximum at a first particle diameter value and a second peak with the maximum at a second particle diameter value larger than the first particle diameter value. The intermediate layer (123) contains 10% to 60% by mass of conductive particles (52) having particle diameters that belong to the second peak.
