Abstract
Fuel cell fuel supplies having single and multiple compartments for storing and containing fuel cell fuel precursor reagents. These fuel supplies allow storage and packaging of precursors for in situ production and use of fuel cell fuel. A method for making fuel cell fuel and a fuel cell system is also disclosed.
Claims11
A method for making a fuel for a fuel cell, comprising:
- storing a first precursor reagent and a second precursor reagent within a portable fuel supply;
- isolating the first precursor reagent from the second precursor reagent within the portable fuel supply;
- and
- causing the first precursor reagent to come into contact with the second precursor reagent to react to form the fuel within the portable fuel supply;
- wherein the fuel created contains substantially no free hydrogen, and wherein the fuel remains with unreacted precursors.
