Abstract
An organic hydride production apparatus that enables the reduction reaction at the cathode of an organic compound having an unsaturated bond to proceed at high current efficiency and at a low electric power consumption rate, and a method for producing an organic hydride that uses this production apparatus. The production apparatus includes a solid polymer electrolyte membrane having proton conductivity, a cathode which is provided on one surface of the solid polymer electrolyte membrane and generates a hydride by reducing a substance to be hydrogenated, a cathode chamber which houses the cathode and is supplied with the substance to be hydrogenated, an electrode catalyst-containing anode which is provided on the other surface of the solid polymer electrolyte membrane and generates protons by oxidizing water, and an anode chamber which houses the anode and is supplied with an electrolytic solution, wherein the substance to be hydrogenated is supplied from the lower end of the cathode chamber, the production apparatus has a hydride outlet through which the product and the like is discharged from the upper end of the cathode chamber, and at least one partition with a width of not less than 0.1 mm is formed inside the cathode camber.
