Its entirely conceivable that if the nickel micro particles are spaced far enough apart, then no transmutation from nickel to copper will be seen. The magnetic beams that produce the LENR reaction will usually project away from the tips of the nanowire field emitters on the micro particles. The mag

I am not a chemist, but have some familiarity with materials science. You can take this with an appropriate grain-of-salt. Zirconia would not, itself, be a catalyst. I specifically mentioned zirconium - the metal. Nano-Zr could be a catalyst that would have a high sintering temperature as a nan

I would try a ceramic spong--maybe a Cerium oxide-- then use a solgel Ni compound and sinter at a temp higher than whar you want to operate the reactor. The heavy metal ceramic may help damp the thermal degradation of the Ni structure. Bob Cook Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphon
