Absorption of hydrogen on transition metals is widely used in catalytic reduction hydrogenation reactions for the preparation of a large number of compounds.

Some of the metals (e.g., Pd, Pt) can accommodate a very large volume of hydrogen and, therefore, can be used as storage media. This property has a high potential for hydrogen storage and as a source of energy.
