<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen generator capable of efficiently generating hydrogen from a hydrogen-generating compound even when being small-sized. <P>SOLUTION: The hydrogen generator comprises a plurality of fuel pellets 3 containing the hydrogen-generating compound such as ammonia borane 1, a case 6 serving as a pressure-resistant container for containing the fuel pellets 3, and a controller for controlling hydrogen generation from the fuel pellets 3. The hydrogen generator generates hydrogen from the hydrogen-generating compound by a chemical reaction. The fuel pellets 3 are surrounded by a member which has an aluminum metal thin plate such as an aluminum foil 11 in the surface to keep the initial inner pressure in the hydrogen generation optimum, that is the maximum hydrogen generation yield and to hold heat without release the heat generated from hydrogen generating compound itself to improve the yield of hydrogen generation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
