Claim:
An electrode for fuel cells comprising a catalyst layer coated on a carbon support, the catalyst layer containing a benzoxazine monomer represented by Formula 1, a catalyst, and a binder: wherein R 1 is a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C20 alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C20 alkynyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C20 aryl group; wherein R 2 is a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C20 aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3-C20 heteroaryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C20 heterocyclic group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C20 heterocyclic alkyl group; and wherein a substituent of the substituted alkyl group of R 1 , the substituted alkenyl group of R 1 , the substituted alkynyl group of R 1 , the substituted aryl group of R 1 , the substituted aryl group of R 2 , the substituted heteroaryl group of R 2 , the substituted heterocyclic group of R 2 , or the substituted heterocyclic alkyl group of R 2 is: a) a halogen atom; b) an additional substituted C1-C20 alkyl group that is itself substituted with a halogen atom, a hydroxy group, a nitro group, a cyano group, an amino group, an amidino group, a hydrazine, a hydrazone, a carboxyl group or a salt thereof, a sulfonic group or a salt thereof, or a phosphate group or salt thereof; or c) an additional C1-C20 alkyl group, C2-C20 alkenyl group, C2-C20 alkynyl group, C2-C20 heteroalkyl group, C6-C20 aryl group, C7-C20 arylalkyl group, C6-C20 heteroaryl group, or C6-C20 heteroarylalkyl group.
