Axil and Jed, I agree with you both. Maybe it would work with plasma electrolysis with very high power levels to get the temperature of the nickel up high enough. Otherwise, nickel maybe somewhat of a dead end with electrolysis. But maybe electrolysis is not much worth studying in general at this point as a much more convincing demonstration can come from gas loaded cells.
