My guess about what Rossi means: the Ni catalyst is very reactive stuff. When you expose it to air it is rapidly contaminated, and it does not work well after that. Or it does not work at all.
I'd bet that if you put the stuff, however contaminated, through a mass spectrometer you could figure out what the catalyst is, and probably the approximate proportion.
