摘要： A filter, and a hydrogen generator and a fuel cell power generation system having the filter, are disclosed. The filter includes a frame, in which an opening is formed each in two sides; a cover, which is coupled to the opening, and in which at least one hole is formed to allow the gas to pass; and a desiccant, which is filled inside the frame, and which absorbs the moisture. By using such a filter, the backflow of the electrolyte solution, which may occur while generating hydrogen, can be prevented, by passing the hydrogen through a desiccant filled inside a frame, to consequently increase the hydrogen generating efficiency of the hydrogen generator.
