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)H

Abstract x (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)Hx liquid 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.
