To clearify my observations further: 1) room temperature experiments seem to require an additional trick to get sufficient Hydrogen absorbtion: the use of an additional (transparant) layer
2) Rossi might not need to have the additional layer since he is operating his nickel at a condition where Hydrogen absorbstion is significantly higher than room temperature and in addition higher pressures.
