NOVELTY - A hydrogen is produced by continuously supplying a catalytic bed with an aqueous solution of sodium borohydride, the catalytic bed having cobalt, nickel, platinum, or ruthenium; obtaining hydrogen and a by-product having sodium metaborate; continuously recovering the obtained hydrogen; and supplying a micro fuel cell with obtained hydrogen, the micro fuel cell transforming the hydrogen into electric energy.    USE - Production of hydrogen for micro fuel cells.    ADVANTAGE - The method provides catalytic electrochemical reaction managing the hydrogen production can be controlled through the amount of catalyst used; more economic method and does not produce acid compounds or caustic vapors as it production systems, such as calcium/water and zinc/acid; and hydrogen is the only gas produced, thus neither the consumption nor the degradation or poisoning of the catalyst occur.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) an apparatus (100) comprising micro-reactor (1) having a reaction chamber (6a) with catalytic bed (14); first tank structured to store an aqueous solution of sodium borohydride; second tank structured to store reaction by-products having sodium metaborate, where the reaction chamber comprises a micro-channel of a length, in communication, at opposite ends, with the first and second tanks respectively; and semi-permeable membrane (10) completely covering micro-channel;    (2) a process comprising oxide layer where a flowing an aqueous solution of sodium borohydride in a flow path coated with a catalyst having Group VIIIB metal(s), the aqueous solution of sodium borohydride contacting the catalyst to produce hydrogen gas and sodium metaborate; and delivering the hydrogen gas to a micro fuel cell; and    (3) an integrated system comprising micro fuel cell having an anode formed in a first silicon plate, a cathode formed in a second silicon plate, and a proton exchange membrane interposed between the anode and the cathode; micro-reactor having a reaction chamber formed in a silicon plate, where reaction chamber contains a catalyst(s) of Group VIIIB metals; and semi-permeable membrane interposed between the micro fuel cell and the microreactor, where first and second silicon plates of the micro fuel cell are bonded with the silicon plate forming the micro-reactor.
