Non-stoichiometric hydrides or Metallic Hydrides are hydrogen deficient.

  • This means that they don’t hold the Law of Constant Composition.
  • Hydrides of Nickel, Palladium, Cerium, and Actinium occupy the interstitial position in the lattice.
  • This allows a large amount of hydrogen absorption.
  • Metals like Palladium and Platinum can store large amounts of hydrogen and hence are used for the same.
