Provided are a crosslinked object of a polybenzoxazine-based compound formed of a polymerized resultant of a first monofunctional benzoxazine-based monomer or a second multifunctional benzoxazine-based monomer with a crosslinkable compound, an electrolyte membrane including the crosslinked object, a method of preparing the electrolyte membrane, and a fuel cell employing the electrolyte membrane including the crosslinked object. The crosslinked object of the polybenzoxazine-based compound has a strong acid trapping capacity with respect to the benzoxazine-based compound and high mechanical properties due to the crosslinking. Also, solubility of the crosslinked object in polyphosphoric acid is removed, thus the crosslinked object is very stable chemically. The electrolyte membrane including the crosslinked object has excellent phosphoric acid supplementing capacity at a high temperature and mechanical and chemical stability. Specifically, even when the impregnated amount of a proton carrier, such as phosphoric acid, is increased to increase proton conductivity, the electrolyte membrane has excellent mechanical and chemical stability. Accordingly, the electrolyte membrane can be used in a fuel cell for high temperature and no humidity. |
