主权项

1. A container comprising:
a body having an interior volume; a closure member including a base, an annular sidewall integrally formed with the base and extending from the base, and an opening defined by the annular sidewall opposite to the base, the base defining a recess within an inner surface thereof facing the opening, an annular wall extending into the inner surface of the base defines an outer perimeter of the recess and is spaced apart from the annular sidewall; a hydrogen generator generating molecular hydrogen; a catalyst catalyzing a chemical reaction between said hydrogen and oxygen; and an insert member secured within the recess such that an outermost surface of the insert member is coplanar with portions of the inner surface of the base surrounding the recess, and including at least one of said hydrogen generator, said catalyst, and a chemical component for chemical reaction with either said hydrogen generator or said catalyst.
