METHOD, DEVICE AND FUEL FOR HYDROGEN GENERATION

摘要

A method and a device for generating of hydrogen are provided with which an instantaneous release of hydrogen in considerable amounts is possible. The method comprises a one or two step mixing including injecting the fuel and an activator fluid into a reaction chamber. The device is adapted to be operated with such a method. Further, a fuel suitable for the use with such a method is provided, the fuel being based on a dry metal hydride or a dry metal borohydride being dispersed in a non-aqueous dispersion medium. Moreover, a method for (re-) fuelling the hydrogen generating device at a service station and a method for supplying a service station with fuel are provided.

1. A binary fuel for generating hydrogen, comprising:
a hydrogen carrier in an inert fluid medium and an activator fluid, characterized in that the hydrogen carrier comprises a metal hydride MHx or a metal borohydride M(BH4)x, where M is a metal and x denotes the valence of the particular metal and the activator fluid is or comprises ultrapure water.
