The invention relates to a micro reformer using a liquid fuel like methanol, and a micro fuel cell having the same. The invention provides a micro reformer including a cylindrical tube having an inlet for receiving a liquid fuel and an outlet for emitting hydrogen gas. The micro reformer also includes a heater disposed in the tube for providing a heat source, and a catalyst disposed in the tube for producing hydrogen gas from hydrocarbon-based fuel. According to the invention, the micro reformer and the micro fuel cell can be integrated using a wire type for various purposes, allowing obtainment of a miniaturized fuel cell using methanol liquid fuel. |
