Process for supplying a fuel cell with hydrogen, which includes the steps:&#x2014;intermediate storage of (poly)silanes or (poly)silane solutions&#x2014;transfer of the (poly)silanes to a reaction chamber&#x2014;reaction or hydrolysis of the silanes or silane solutions in the reaction chamber with an aqueous solution to liberate H,&#x2014;removal of the solid and/or liquid reaction products from the reaction chamber,&#x2014;transfer of the Hformed to the fuel cell. The invention also relates to a hydrogen generator for fuel cells based on silanes.
