Abstract
A hydrogen generation device adapted to a fuel cell is provided. The hydrogen generation device includes a containing tank and a buffer layer. The buffer layer is disposed in the containing tank and divides the containing tank into a first containing space and a second containing space. The first containing space is capable of containing a liquid reactant. The second containing space is capable of containing a first solid fuel. The liquid reactant is capable of entering the second containing space through the buffer layer and reacts with the first solid fuel to generate hydrogen.
Claims26
A hydrogen generation device, adapted to a fuel cell, the hydrogen generation device comprising:
- a containing tank;
- and
- a buffer layer, disposed in the containing tank, for dividing the containing tank into a first containing space and a second containing space, wherein the first containing space is capable of containing a liquid reactant, the second containing space is capable of containing a first solid fuel, and the liquid reactant is capable of entering the second containing space through the buffer layer and reacting with the first solid fuel to generate hydrogen.
A fuel cell, comprising:
- a hydrogen generation device, comprising:
- a containing tank;
- a buffer layer, disposed in the containing tank, for dividing the containing tank into a first containing space and a second containing space, wherein the first containing space is capable of containing a liquid reactant, the second containing space is capable of containing a first solid fuel, and the liquid reactant is capable of entering the second containing space through the buffer layer and reacting with the first solid fuel to generate hydrogen;
- a fuel cell stack;
- and
- a guiding structure, connected between the hydrogen generation device and the fuel cell stack, capable of guiding the hydrogen generated in a reaction between the first solid fuel and the liquid reactant to the fuel cell stack.
