large volumes of hydrogen are absorbed my metals like platinum and palladium.this is called occlusion. i didnt understand anything.how?. what is the principle?.

well this topic can come for my competitive exam.so please answer it

Answer
This is a pretty good summary.  It is technical, as is the subject.  Read this and get back to me with specific questions.  Occlusion is really just another word for absorption of gases in a metal matrix.
