Abstract
ReactorA includes a reaction vesselhaving an inletfor a to-be-reformed gasand an outletfor a reformed gas, a pair of electrodesfor plasma generation, a power sourcefor applying a voltage to the pair of electrodes, and a catalyst for promoting a reforming reaction, wherein one of the pair of electrodesis a linear electrode, the other of the pair of electrodesis a honeycomb electrodemade of a conductive ceramics, and the catalyst is loaded on the partition walls of the honeycomb electrode, which reactor further includes shielding membersA placed between the linear electrodeand the honeycomb electrode, which are protruded toward the gas-introducing end face side of the honeycomb electrodeand prevent the inflow of the to-be-reformed gaspassing through a zone other than a plasma-generating zone
