Developed by: ROHM, Aquafairy Corporation, and Kyoto University.
A unique small hydrogen fuel cell (FC) battery has been developed.
The battery is removably coupled with a sheet-like plate as the hydrogen source (see Fig. 1). The uniqueness resides in the use of the sheet-like plate. Calcium hydride is solidified into the sheet-like plate. To generate hydrogen, a simple action to drip water on the sheet is only required. The calcium-hydride solid-state sheet stably generates hydrogen when water drips on the sheet. The construction to ensure the stable hydrogen generation is based on the proprietary technology. The FC battery coupled with the hydrogen generation sheet is light in weight and high in output power. The hydrogen generation sheet has a volume of 3cc (38 x 38 x 2 mm3). >> More
