Hydrogen absorption effect on the magnetic-superconducting phase diagram of La 2−x Sr x CuO 4 have been studied. Upon hydrogenation, the superconducting transition temperature T c increases for x>0.15, while T c decreases for x N of La 2 CuO 4 rises up to 324K from 240K. These facts suggest that the doped hydrogen in La 2−x Sr x CuO 4 system plays a role of electron donor to the CuO 2 plane like in other high-T c copper oxides.
