PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the amount of generation of hydrogen by decomposition or steam reformation of a hydrocarbon while accelerating supply of liquid and evaporation of a hydrocarbon-based liquid material such as methanol liquid, decomposition or stream reformation reaction of a hydrocarbon in the porous body using a porous body carrying a catalyst stimulating decomposition or the steam reforming reaction of the hydrocarbon.SOLUTION: A porous body (6) for a hydrogen generating device (1, 1') includes a first porous body (61) which includes a hollow portion (7) internally provided with a heating elements (8, 8', 8") and carries a catalyst (2), a second porous body (62) which includes an evaporation face (65) separated from the outer surface (64) of the first porous body and supplies liquid material (L) to the evaporation face by a capillary force, and a steam flow region (66) formed between the first and the second porous bodies. The first porous body evaporates the liquid material by the heat generation of the heating element, and the second porous body progresses the decomposition reaction of the carbon hydride contained in steam (V) of the liquid material or the steam reforming reaction in the presence of a catalyst to produce a synthetic gas (S) containing a great amount of hydrogen in the hollow portion. |
