hydrogen storage and release device; and an
electric control means for automatically controlling said treatment container, said hydrogen filling means and said heating and cooling means. A storage device for a functional product comprises a energy conversion and storage means for sealing and storing a functional product, which has been subjected to a reduction and a hydrogenation of a functional substance using natural or regenerable energy, in a waterproof container or bag. A molded product, a painting material, a
coating material and a grouting material using said functional product comprises a catalytic means in which a material, a binder and a functional catalytic product are mixed and dispersed. A hydrogen
solvent using said functional product comprises a hydrogen solution means in which a functional product of a hydrogenated functional substance is mixed with a granular,
solid or viscous
medicine, food or
adhesive membrane material, or is filled in a container. A hydrogen utilization device using said functional product comprises: a hydrogen
discharge means comprising a hydrogen generating container on which a functional product consisting of a functional hydrogenated substance is mounted; a
hydrogen storage and release means comprising a
hydrogen storage container using a
hydrogen storage substance on which a heating device is attached; a hydrogen generating means for reacting said functional product of said hydrogen
discharge means with
liquid water to form a
metal hydride and to generate a hydrogen gas from a
hydrolysis; a row material
water supply means for supplying the hydrogen gas generated by said hydrogen generating means to a hydrogen utilization body and applying water being compounded with
oxygen to said hydrogen generating means; and an
electric control means containing a detection
system; wherein these means are constructed in a unit. A gas sensor using said functional product comprises: a
composite element means comprising a gas reactant on which a measuring junction of a thermoelectric couple and a functional product are mounted; a detachable means for storing said
composite element means in a detachable container; and an
electric control means comprising an electric
control unit consisting of a power source for controlling said
composite element means, a Thomson effect
control system and a Seebeck effect
control system and the like. A secondary battery using said functional product comprises: an
electrode means formed by using a functional product of an active substance and a low-temperature plastic
coating material; and an unifying means bonding power generating elements comprising a negative
electrode, a positive
electrode and a separation membrane of said electrode means and covering the elements with an insulation membrane. A fuel
cell or reversible fuel
cell in which said functional product is used in a MEA (
Membrane Electrode Assembly) plate comprises: a MEA (
Membrane Electrode Assembly) plate means in which a MEA (
Membrane Electrode Assembly) is formed on one side of a plate formed with a corrugated portion; a stacking means stacking a single body of said MEA (Membrane
Electrode Assembly) plate, a MEA (Membrane
Electrode Assembly) cassette in which two of said MEA (Membrane
Electrode Assembly) plates are stacked, or the MEA (
Membrane Electrode assembly) cassettes; and a sealing means covering said single body of MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly) plate or said MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly) cassette with a coating material, or, bonding the periphery of said stacked MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly) cassettes, sealing and separating an inside of a positive electrode or a negative electrode and providing nozzles for a fluid of two passages. Accordingly, the present invention provides the following advantages. A
fine powder of a
metal hydride and a
metal powder made by a reduction of a metal compound can be produced at low cost. Even when a
fine powder of an activated functional substance is exposed in air for a long period, it is safe and firing and poisoning do not occur. This solves a conventional problem. And, the product can be easily mounted various devices with low cost. In addition, by producing
magnesium hydride using natural or
renewable energy, it makes possible to convert the energy into a high-density safe substance and to store and transport. Furthermore, a large quantity of hydrogen can be supplied to a hydrogen utilization body. And, a long-lived gas sensor, secondary
cell and the like can be obtained.
