I use carbonyl Ni, the same as Rossi and Defkalion. Rossi adds his own treatment which he claims is cheap. Neither use nano-Ni. Will my treatment of this Ni work? Only time will tell. Results with the QSI nano-Ni have been disappointing. Also, nano-Ni is not durable - I.E, it will easily sinter into larger particles at high temperature (600C). If nano-Ni was found to be required, it will be painful to make something work at high temperature for long periods. Nano-Ni might be OK for hand warmers.
