hydrogen sorption

Hydrogen sorption refers to the process where hydrogen gas interacts with a material, either being absorbed into its structure (absorption) or attaching to its surface (adsorption). This process is important for storing hydrogen safely and efficiently, especially for fuel applications. Materials like metal hydrides or porous frameworks can hold hydrogen at different pressures and temperatures. Understanding sorption helps develop better storage methods, making hydrogen a more practical and sustainable energy source by enabling its controlled capture and release.
