NOVELTY - The method involves adding an aqueous solution i.e. ethanol, through a solution inlet fill port (110) to reactant material (101) i.e. silicide, contained in a reactor (102) to form a mixture comprising aqueous solution and reactant material reacted to generate hydrogen gas. One of the reactant material, an aqueous solution, hydrogen gas and waste product is filtered. Generated gas is routed from the reactor through a hydrogen outlet port to an industrial application. Hydrogen generation by ratio of reactant material to aqueous solution/composition of reactant material mixture is controlled.    USE - Method for generating hydrogen gas for a fuel cell i.e. polymer exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), for producing power to a gasoline turbine, an internal combustion engine and a battery for laboratory, industrial or consumer use/stationary power generation applications, lighting applications, back-up power applications, consumer electronic applications e.g. laptop computer, personal and commercial electronics products, personal mobility device applications i.e. electric bicycle, and landscaping equipment.    ADVANTAGE - The method enables performing a system reaction employing reactants that does not require an additional catalyst chamber and is easily start-stop controlled by simple addition of an appropriate aqueous medium to satisfy hydrogen demand of a fuel cell or hydrogen-drawing system, while minimizing overall system volume and weight. The method enables combining additives with the reactant fuel material i.e. boron, so as to improve hydrogen capacity and kinetics and reduce reaction enthalpy, while reducing freezing point of the solution.
