If it is the case that the Debye temp of nickel must be surpassed in order to see a substantial effect (or even simply that the nickel be really hot), then it seems like Ni/H electrolysis would not result in an effect. Note also that that the Debye temp of palladium is quite low, which is consistent with seeing an effect in Pd/D electrolysis. Eric
