Revisiting Hydrogen Sorption-Desorption in Natural Rocks.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen sorption and desorption in natural rocks are increasingly referenced across subsurface energy and environmental applications, including underground hydrogen storage, natural hydrogen exploration, geological hydrogen generation, and radioactive waste containment. However, the extent to which these physical interactions influence hydrogen behavior in geological materials remains poorly understood. This review examines current experimental and theoretical studies (atomistic simulation and isotherm modeling) of hydrogen sorption and desorption in natural rocks. We evaluated reported sorption capacities and their variability across different lithologies alongside the influencing parameters and the occurrence of hysteresis. Additionally, we modeled all available data using multiple isot
