The essential requirements for hydrogen storage in solids are that it be (a) high H-mass density (b) high H-volume density (c) appropriate pressure, temperature stability (d) reversible absorption/desorption. The results of research in the field of hydrogen solubility in the metal-hydrogen systems and carbon nanostructures are presented in this paper.
