HYDROGEN PRODUCING APPARATUS AND FUEL CELL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen producing apparatus by a steam reforming system where hydrogen can be produced without energy supply from outside to the hydrogen producing apparatus.

SOLUTION: The hydrogen producing apparatus 10 has a first reaction chamber 11, a second reaction chamber 12 and a partition 20 to partition the first reaction chamber and the second reaction chamber. The partition has a plate-like base material 21, a first catalyst 23 supported at the first reaction chamber side of the base material and a second catalyst 28 supported at the second reaction chamber side of the base material. The first catalyst accelerates a reaction between a hydrocarbon and steam in the first reaction chamber. The second catalyst accelerates the catalytic combustion reaction of the hydrocarbon in the second reaction chamber.
