Electrode for fuel cell, method of preparing the same, and fuel cell employing the same

A method of preparing a fuel cell electrode for a fuel cell, comprising:

• preparing a slurry by mixing a supporting material having a specific surface area of at least 500 m2/g, a supported catalyst, a dispersing medium, and a binder comprising an amount of fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer in a range of 0.5 to 50 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of a total amount of the supporting material and the catalyst;
• coating the slurry on an electrode material and drying the resultant product;
• and
• heat treating the dried resultant product to obtain the fuel cell electrode.

A fuel cell electrode, comprising:

• an electrode material to support the electrode;
• a catalyst supporting material having a specific surface area of at least 500 m2/g;
• a supported catalyst impregnated in the catalyst supporting material;
• a binder to bind the catalyst supporting material on the electrode material, wherein the binder comprises fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer in a range of 0.5 to 50 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of a total amount of the catalyst supporting material and the supported catalyst.
