Molar mass measurement of a <sup>28</sup>Si-enriched silicon crystal with high precision secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS)

The advancement of solid-state hydrogen storage materials is critical for the realization of a sustainable hydrogen economy. This comprehensive review elucidates the state-of-the-art characterization techniques employed in solid-state hydrogen storage research, emphasizing their principles, advantages, limitations, and synergistic applications. We critically analyze conventional methods such as the Sieverts technique, gravimetric analysis, and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), alongside composite and structure approaches including Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). This review highlights the crucial role of in situ and operando characterization in unraveling the complex mechanisms of hydrogen sorption and desorption. We address the challenges associated with characterizing metal-based solid-state hydrogen storage materials discussing innovative strategies to overcome these obstacles. Furthermore, we explore the integration of advanced computational modeling and data-driven approaches with experimental techniques to enhance our understanding of hydrogen–material interactions at the atomic and molecular levels. This paper also provides a critical assessment of the practical considerations in characterization, including equipment accessibility, sample preparation protocols, and cost-effectiveness. By synthesizing recent advancements and identifying key research directions, this review aims to guide future efforts in the development and optimization of high-performance solid-state hydrogen storage materials, ultimately contributing to the broader goal of sustainable energy systems.
