Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a self-exothermic hydrogen generator which is provided with a self-exothermic metal honeycomb structure composed of the exothermic body with an insulating surface layer. SOLUTION: The self-exothermic hydrogen generator comprises the metal honeycomb structure which is formed by laminating or winding a flat stainless steel foil and a corrugated stainless steel foil. The surface of at least one kind of the foils is covered with α-Al2O3-insulating layer which consists of an isometric and/or a columnar crystal. The catalyst which reforms a hydrocarbon or an alcohol to the gas which contains hydrogen and carbon dioxide mainly is supported on the surface of the metal honeycomb structure and can be self- exothermic by energizing.
