Carbon black molded body and a method for producing the same

A carbon black molded body comprising:

• a binder in an amount of less than 10% by mass;
• a peak M of a pore volume existing in a pore diameter within a range of from 3.6 nm to 500 nm in a Log differential pore volume distribution;
• a half band width of the peak M of 10 nm or less;
• a ratio of the half band width/an area-based median diameter of 0.7 or less;
• and
• a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of a Log differential pore volume of 0.18 cm3/g or less in a pore diameter within a range of from 1,000 nm to 5,000 nm in the Log differential pore volume distribution when a pore volume exists in a pore diameter within a range of more than 500 nm;
• wherein the Log differential pore volume distribution having a pore diameter (nm) on a horizontal axis and a pore volume (cm3/g) on a vertical axis is obtained by measuring the carbon black molded body in a pore diameter within a range of from 3.6 nm to 5,000 nm of the carbon black molded body by mercury intrusion porosimetry.
