METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN

摘要

The objective of the present invention is to provide a method for producing hydrogen and a device for producing hydrogen which use the reaction of water and aluminum and which are capable of generating hydrogen continuously over long periods of time without reducing the total volume of hydrogen generation. The device for producing hydrogen (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a sheet-like aluminum (5) disposed inside a container (3), and a calcium hydroxide (7) accommodated inside the container (3). In the device for producing hydrogen (1) of the above configuration, water is added to the container (3) and the calcium hydroxide (7) is dissolved to form an aqueous solution, and the sheet-like aluminum (5) is immersed in the aqueous solution. Thus, a hydrogen evolution reaction is initiated and hydrogen gas is generated. In this case, by adjusting the area and thickness of the sheet-like aluminum (5), the volume, speed and time of the hydrogen gas generation can be adjusted.
