The history of LENR is replete with anecdotal speculation about metal impurities being the distinguishing factor between active (or overunity) cathodes and those that are ineffective. Ed Storms has written an article which centers on the physical environment in which the LENR reactions occur,

Ed The electron can not leave the nucleus for even a brief time, thus no covalent attraction is possible. ...methinks you are just trying to get rid of these critters (but by gravity instead of the normal levity ;-) Covalent bonding is indeed seemingly impossible with any other element
