A hydrogen generating apparatus is disclosed. The hydrogen generating apparatus in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first hydrogen generating unit, which has a first electrode generating hydrogen by decomposing an electrolyte aqueous solution; a second hydrogen generating unit, which has a second electrode that is placed adjacent to the first hydrogen generating unit and surface thereof is formed with a super absorbent polymer that is gelled when water is absorbed; a solution separation membrane interposed between the first hydrogen generating unit and the second hydrogen generating unit; a reactor accommodating the first hydrogen generating unit, the second hydrogen generating unit and the solution separation membrane; and a hydrogen vent being formed on one side of the reactor, which is adjacent to the second hydrogen generating unit.

Hydrogen generating apparatus and fuel cell power generation system

A fuel cell power generation system is disclosed. The fuel cell power generation system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: a stack, which produces electrical energy by reacting hydrogen with oxygen and in which the hydrogen is supplied as fuel and the oxygen is in the air; a hydrogen tank, which supplies fuel comprising hydrogen to the stack; and a heat transfer tape, which transfers heat generated from the stack to the hydrogen tank. The fuel cell power generation system can improve the efficiency of supplying hydrogen by supplying waste heat generated from the stack to the hydrogen tank through the use of the heat transfer tape without a heat supplying device and be applied to a mobile device due to the reduced volume of the fuel cell power generation system.

Fuel cell power generation system

A reactor cover, and a hydrogen generating apparatus and a fuel cell power generation system having the reactor cover are disclosed. The reactor cover includes a base panel; a control unit, which is coupled to one side of the base panel, and which regulates a reaction for generating the hydrogen; a circuit pattern buried in the base panel in electrical connection with the control unit; and an electrode pad formed on the other side of the base panel in electrical connection with the circuit pattern. In the reactor cover, the base panel and the control unit may be integrated, to eliminate unnecessary wiring, prevent short-circuiting, and consequently provide a reactor cover that can be fabricated and used more easily.

A fuel cell is disclosed. The fuel cell in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: a membrane-electrode assembly, which has an electrolyte membrane, an anode being formed on one surface of the electrolyte membrane and a cathode being formed on the other surface of the electrolyte membrane; and an auxiliary electric power supply having a flow path formed on the surface thereof and being laminated on the membrane-electrode assembly such that the flow path faces the membrane-electrode assembly.

Fuel cell with auxilliary electric power supply

An electrode cartridge, a hydrogen generating apparatus and a fuel cell power generation system equipped with the electrode cartridge and hydrogen generating apparatus are disclosed. The electrode cartridge can include an anode configured to generate electrons in an electrolyte solution, a cathode configured to generate hydrogen from the electrolyte solution by receiving the electrons at the anode, a liquid-gas separation membrane, which is disposed to surround the anode and the cathode, configured to separate the hydrogen from the electrolyte solution and discharge the hydrogen to the outside, and a support configured to support the liquid-gas separation membrane for preventing an expansion of the liquid-gas separation membrane. The electrode cartridge of the present invention can prevent an effect of electrolyte solution flowing backwards when generating hydrogen as well as an effect of electrolyte solution leak when moving.
