Abstract Although high pressure enables alloying between hydrogen and iron, hydrogen‐to‐iron molar ratio (H/Fe) so far found in experiments is mostly limited to 1 in the close‐packed iron metal under high pressure. We report a H/(Fe + Ni) ratio of 1.8 ± 0.1 from (Fe,Ni)Hx(orx ≥ 1.8) quenched from liquid, exceeding the amounts so far reported for densely packed Fe alloys. From the metastable behavior of the frozen (Fe,Ni)Hxliquid during decompression, we infer that the amount is a lower bound and therefore even a greater amount of H can be dissolved in the liquid part of Fe‐rich cores of planets. The significant H storage capacity of liquid Fe‐Ni alloy is important to consider for potential storage of H in the interiors of low‐density planets as well as rocky planets.more » « less
