Abstract Zirconium alloys have been widely used in nuclear reactors due to their strong corrosion resistance and low thermal neutron absorption interface. After more than 60 years’ development, zirconium alloys have evolved from the first generation of zirconium-1 alloys to the second generation of zirconium-2, zirconium-4 alloys and the third generation of N36, ZIRLO, M05 alloys. Hydrogen precipitation will reduce the mecha-nical properties of zirconium alloys. Hydrogen mainly comes from the corrosion reaction between zirconium and water, which enters the metal matrix through diffusion and retains in the matrix. The types and properties of hydrides in zirconium alloys have attracted much attention. So far, there are four types of hydrides, but two of them (ζ-ZrH0.5(bct) and γ-ZrH (fct)) are metastable. Moreover, the presence of ζ phase hydride is extremely short, the current experimental equipment or experimental methods cannot be observed at such a short time scale. Hence, many experimental studies on hydrides are concentrated in δ-ZrH1.4-1.7 (fcc) and ε-ZrH2(fct). The working environment of the zirconium alloys is high temperature, while the retained hydrogen in the matrix will desorb at high temperature and lead to the distortion caused by precipitate phase disappear. During this cycle, many micro defects gradually accumulate inside the material, then accelerate the materials aging. It was found that many researchers used pure ZrH2 powder to study the desorption behavior of hydrogen in zirconium, but the actual serviced zirconium alloys contain other alloying elements, their existence will affect the retention state and desorption behaviors of hydrogen. Thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) is one of the effective ways to investigate the retention state of hydrogen and its isotopes in metals and alloys, however, TDS has certain limitations in determining the desorption behavior of hydrogen in zirconium alloy. Besides, the surface of zirconium alloys commonly covered by an oxide layer. When hydrogen diffuses into the oxide layer, the oxygen atoms in the oxide layer will trap some hydrogen atoms by forming hydrogen-oxygen bond. This bond reduces the amount of desorption, delays the desorption, and rises the desorption temperature. Therefore, the increase in desorption temperature on the experimental data does not mean that the actual desorption temperature of the hydride in the matrix, but the process of hydrogen diffusion is blocked by the oxide layer. This review summarizes the research progress of the desorption behavior of zirconium hydride, introduces the structure of hydrides, the source of hydrogen, the hydrogen retention state, the limitations of TDS and the desorption behavior of hydrides respectively, points out the shortco-mings of the research in desorption behavior of zirconium hydrides and prospects the future research directions.
