    摘要: A hydrogen separation filter includes a plurality of hydrogen extraction layers, a plurality of separation layers with hydrogen separation films, and a plurality of reformed gas layers, which are laid one upon another in the sequence of the extraction layer, the separation layer, the reformed gas layer, and the separation layer to form a laminate structure. The respective layers are composed of porous ceramic material to ensure the required strength. The direction of the gas flow in the reformed gas layers and that in the extraction layers are respectively fixed to simplify the gas intake and discharge structure. The hydrogen separation filter is covered with a casing via a cushioning member to ensure the sufficient strength and the required sealing properties. A methanation catalyst that accelerates methanation of carbon monoxide is carried on either the separation layer or the extraction layer. This arrangement effectively relieves the adverse effects of contamination of resulting hydrogen with carbon monoxide, due to a pinhole or a partial damage of the layers.

    摘要: The technique of the present invention enhances the separation efficiency and the production efficiency of hydrogen in a hydrogen production system for fuel cells, while reducing the size of the whole fuel gas production system. In the fuel gas production system of the present invention, a hydrocarbon compound is subjected to multi-step chemical processes including a reforming reaction, a shift reaction, and a CO oxidation to give a hydrogen-rich fuel gas. Gaseous hydrogen produced through the reforming reaction is separated by a hydrogen separation membrane having selective permeability to hydrogen. The residual gas after the separation of hydrogen has a low hydrogen partial pressure and undergoes the shift reaction at the accelerated rate. The hydrogen-rich processed gas obtained through the shift reaction and the CO oxidation joins with the separated hydrogen and is supplied to fuel cells. A purge gas for carrying out the hydrogen is introduced into a separation unit of hydrogen, in order to lower the hydrogen partial pressure and thereby enhance the separation efficiency of hydrogen. The residual gas after the separation of hydrogen undergoes combustion and is subsequently used as the purge gas

    摘要: The manufacturing method of the invention is applied to manufacture a unit fuel cell 20, which has a hydrogen-permeable metal layer 22 of a hydrogen-permeable metal and an electrolyte layer 21 that is located on the hydrogen-permeable metal layer 22 and has proton conductivity. The method first forms the electrolyte layer 21 on the hydrogen-permeable metal layer 22, and subsequently forms an electrically conductive cathode 24 on the electrolyte layer 21 to block off an electrical connection between the cathode 24 and the hydrogen-permeable metal layer 22. The method releases Pd toward the electrolyte layer 21 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the electrolyte layer 21 to form a Pd layer as the cathode 24 that is thinner than the electrolyte layer 21. This arrangement of the invention effective prevents a potential short circuit, for example, between the cathode and the hydrogen-permeable metal layer, in the fuel cell, due to pores present in the electrolyte layer.

    摘要: A fuel cell of the invention has a hydrogen permeable metal layer, which is formed on a plane of an electrolyte layer that has proton conductivity and includes a hydrogen permeable metal. The fuel cell includes a higher temperature zone and a lower temperature zone that has a lower temperature than the higher temperature zone. The hydrogen permeable metal layer includes a lower temperature area A corresponding to the lower temperature zone and a higher temperature area B corresponding to the higher temperature zone. The lower temperature area A and the higher temperature area B have different settings of composition and/or layout of components. This arrangement effectively prevents potential deterioration of cell performance due to an uneven distribution of internal temperature of the fuel cell including the hydrogen permeable metal layer.
