Metal hydrides can undergo a process called reversible chemisorption, allowing them to store and release extra hydrogen held by weak chemical bonds.
In this paper, hydrogen is interpreted to be present copiously in the mantle in the form of high-pressure hydrides that behave as reduced, deformable fluids in contrast to the crust, which is oxidic and rigid.
Hydrides can absorb hydrogen atoms into their molecular structure and subsequently release them to power a fuel cell without requiring bulky and inefficient gas or liquid storage.
