i wonder if coating the inside of the steel tanks with an epoxy paint might slow down the penetration of hydrogen.

I was a parts inspector for a valve company for a while. The rotors were cast aluminum, and a small % of them leaked enough air from porosity that they were sent to another vendor that sealed them.

I have read that the H2 molecule is much smaller than air, but the process and materials of sealing tanks for H2 storage is out there somewhere. I'm assuming the inside of the tank would be the part to coat with sealant.

not significantly.

Beryllium, boron, and carbon are interesting candidates though.
