HYDROGEN GENERATOR AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING REACTION

摘要

A hydrogen generator is provided for generating hydrogen gas for a fuel cell stack. The hydrogen generator includes a reaction area and a reactant storage area for storing a reactant composition for reacting to generate hydrogen gas. The hydrogen generator also includes a high pH solution contained within a solution storage area. Hydrogen gas is discharged through an outlet that passes through a filter to supply gas to the fuel cell. A predetermined quantity of high pH solution is injected into the reaction area to stop the reaction when electrical power is no longer demanded.
