According to Holmlid, Hydrogen Rydberg matter is formed when there is no reactive elements available to form covalent bonds. Hydrogen must interact with itself. The hydrogen must desorb from a material that does not combine with hydrogen. Carbon at elevated temperatures does not interact with hydrogen.
When Rossi preprocesses his fuel, he sets up a condition were lithium and hydrogen desorb from the surface of his nickel particles at high temperatures. The same is true for Holmlid, who uses iridium as a substrate to store Hydrogen Rydberg matter produced by the iron catalyst until Holmlid hits the iridium with a laser shot.
