Peter, I consider the use of nano sized powders as different than using wires even if the wire has nano sized structures on its surface. By using the powder, Rossi and others of a like mind are acknowledging that the surface area is the important variable. Anyone that relies upon wire most likely is thinking of bulk effects. The performance could be orders of magnitude different depending upon where the reaction takes place and how deep it occurs.
The basic reaction of nickel and hydrogen is an idea which perhaps Piantelli came up with and has experimented with. The use of powder should be considered a major improvement to the original concept.

Piantelli has told me that Zichichi has not collaborated with him, has not followed his advices and knew anything better than him.. All the stories Stremmenos tell are not relevant- the patent authority has decided that Piantelli's WO 2010/058288 is good as patent and... finita la commedia! Is useless to attack Piantelli. In the 3 writings about Piantelli on my blog he explains who he got the idea of nanostructures. By the way the rods of Piantelli also have nanostructures on the surface due to hydrogen fragilization. Piantelli is the real Father of the Ni-H branch of LENR.

What is this about? Does anyone know about this paper? I do not have a copy and I have never heard of it. I looked at contents of Nuovo Cimento (Vol. 102, No. 12) at the Springer.com site but I do not see a paper by Zichini. I know that that Cerron-Zaballos were unable to replicate Piantelli.
