Hi, about recent Ni+LiAlH4 experiments done by Parkhomov and MFMP on facebook group, Yevgen Barsukov propose that it is a chemical reaction:
https://www.facebook.com/MartinFleischmannMemorialProject/posts/920127711351262 "After decomposition of LiAlH4, pure lithium is left. Lithium is reacting with the walls of the tube made of Al2O3, being a stronger metal than aluminium it takes away its oxygen with release of heat." is it an interesting hypothesis to check ? I think we should also integrate in the reasoning the phase of LiAlH4 decomposition which is probably endothermic... What is the total sum ? maybe this mean the reactor swallow heat at the beginning, and restore more , or less, later... what is the quantity of heat expected compared to the one AG Parkhomov measured?
