<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small size reforming device 1 for a small size fuel cell which uses a liquid fuel, such as methanol or the like, and its manufacturing method. <P>SOLUTION: The small size reforming device comprises: a 1st substrate 40 in which a concave groove 42 is formed in one end face to form a catalyst layer 44; a 2nd substrate 60 in which a concave groove 62 is formed corresponding to the concave groove 42 of the 1st substrate 40 to form a catalyst layer 68; a micro channel 70 in which the concave grooves 42, 62 are formed mutually facing, a fuel inlet 46 is formed in one end, and a hydrogen outlet 48 is formed in another end to form a reforming section 10 and a carbon monoxide removal section 30; and a heating means 66 arranged in the micro channel 70. In this way, the internal channel area is increased, thereby the small size and the increase of hydrogen discharge amount per unit time are possible, the heater is efficiently arranged, thereby the favorable operation is possible even by a low electric power, and the manufacturing by a semiconductor process is possible to obtain the small size reforming device 1 capable of the mass production by a low cost. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
