Fuel cell vehicles running on hydrogen are seen as the long term solution to enable sustainable mobility. Compressed hydrogen gas storage systems are a promising route for storing hydrogen on board of vehicles, provided that a reliable and cheap material capable of withstanding hydrogen embrittlement is found. In this paper, the physicochemical behaviour of stainless steel in the presence of hydrogen with special focus on a ductility minimum near room temperature is reviewed.
