Not sure if this helps or not, but many metal oxide surfaces present a "Lawandy-type" dielectric for accumulation of ultra dense hydrogen IRH. This has been seen on zirconia, iron-oxide and nickel-oxide. This paper by Miley is very important.
www.lenr-canr.org/acrobat/MileyGHclusterswi.pdf From: Peter Gluck Pianteli is my good friend but I do not remember that he has worked with nickel oxide. The problem with NiO is that it will be reduced with H2 and the formed water will build a great pressure in the cell. Not a problem that cannot be solved- e.g. the Cincinnati zirconium group cell I have worked with was also at a high pressure and we had no accidents. But why NiO?
