A study of the hydrogen (H) storage capacity of pure Ti and the Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy is presented. The importance of an accurate quantification of oxygen and hydrogen in the materials used for hydrogen storage, the activation process and the cyclic hydrogenations, the effect of surface quality during hydrogen uptake, the improvement of hydrogen absorption using ion irradiation, and the hydrogen desorption are some topics discussed in this chapter.
