For the first time the thermal desorption of H2, N2, O2 and CO2 is presented for antimony sulfoiodide (SbSI) xerogel made up of large quantity nanowires. The desorption has been observed near ferroelectric phase transition established at Tc = 293.0(2) K. The Sievert measurements have shown that the hydrogen uptake is linear function of H2 pressure (when p < 1.1 × 105 Pa). The hydrogen storage density in SbSI gel amounted 1.24 × 10-2 wt% (for p = 1.08 × 105 Pa at room temperature).
