Hydrogen Transport Barriers, Permeation Windows, and Sorbers

When low-permeation materials are coated on stainless steel they can reduce the rate of hydrogen transport. This is useful for sterling engines and for tritium containment in fusion reactors

High permeation materials can be used as hydrogen permeation windows and purifiers, or as hydrogen sorbers
