HYDROGEN GENERATING MATERIAL, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN, AND FUEL CELL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen generating material easily and efficiently generating hydrogen, a method for producing the same, and a method for producing hydrogen using the hydrogen generating material as a source of hydrogen, and to achieve miniaturization and efficiency improvement of a fuel cell by utilizing hydrogen obtained by the above method as fuel of the fuel cell.

SOLUTION: The hydrogen generating material is configured by using a metal material produced by pulverizing aluminum or an aluminum alloy in a treating solvent containing water and an organic solvent. The metal material has a surface coating film including a metal phase containing aluminum in a metallic state and an inert phase containing an oxide or hydroxide of aluminum.
