Pons and Fleishman did this with Palladium, in their cold fusion
experiment. While the masses buy the government line that there is no
cold fusion, the physics of it is quite compelling, but that's a side
issue that you can't discuss on the usenet. :-) If I was to bring it up,
all kids of misinformation sources would spring up out of no where to
say I am full of crap, and rightly so. This technology is dangerous. As
long as everyone believes me to be a crank, I'm quite safe in talking
about it. :-D
There exist a number of metals out there that are even better absorbers
of hydrogen than palladium. Titanium, for example, can hold up to 2
moles of hydrogen for every mole of Ti. These metals are called "metal
hydrides". A web search of metal hydrides brings up websites such as
this one:

Here's the Sandia National Lab database on metal hydrides:

I have books on the physics of this effect. It IS fascinating.
It was almost the subject of my master's degree in physics.

Yeah. You have to warm up the metal hydride in order to release or store
the hydrogen. Most metal hydrides are good keepers of their hydrogen at
room temperature.
