Theory of hydrogen absorption in metal hydrides

Abstract
A theory of hydrogen absorption by metal hydrides is formulated in the mean-field approximation. The distinction between the true saturation and an incipient saturation is emphasized. It is shown that the incipient saturation is a manifestation of the effect of d-band structure upon the absorption of hydrogen. Absorption isotherms for Pd-H and FeTi-H systems are calculated and compared with the experimental data.
