A hybrid simulation was carried out using discrete variational (DV) X alpha molecular orbital and molecular dynamics methods to examine the storage of hydrogen in metal nano particles. The calculation load was light and therefore could be performed quickly on a generic personal computer. The simulation investigates the electronic states of hydrogen on Pd and Ti nanoparticles. The hydrogen dissociation behavior on the metal surface was reproduced, and the calculated bonding orbitals of Pd and hydrogen are consistent with other reports. The diffusion coefficient of hydrogen inside the metal displays the same temperature dependence as the theoretical results. This simplified calculation, which produces results in agreement with experimental/theoretical values, could lead to improved simulation methods for hydrogen storage materials.
