It's the cracks per Storms. The reactions appear to occur at the surfaces only. In solid Pd, you have to saturate the crystalline structure. With high surface areas in Ni powder or Celani's treated (cracked) wire, there is much more surface area so loading of the total crystal is much less in play.
