Palladium is well known to show high performance for the hydrogen storage materials. We have observed the X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra with dispersive optics in order to understand the size effect of the Pd particles concerning the hydrogen storage process. XAFS spectra were observed at BL14B1 of SPring-8 by dispersive mode. Pd-Pd interatomic distance was expanded by about 0.1 due to the hydrogen absorption reaction at room temperature. We also observed increase of Debye-Waller factor while hydrogen absorption reaction proceeds.
