It wasn’t mentioned, but recently Rossi has been claiming to see anomalous heat 
from nickel  - at higher temperature than the melting point of nickel – say in 
the range of 1500 C.

 

If this is found to be true, then it could be evidence of superatomic nickel, 
which has the formula of Ni2O2 – as opposed to NiO or NiO2. Rossi may have 
formed superatomic nickel inadvertently, since he does not mention that this 
was deliberate. In fact he doesn’t mention superatomic at all. Nickel powder is 
known to oxidize in contact with alumina, so in addition to some of it melting 
at 1500C, some of it would oxidize. The superatom thus could from in situ.

 

The reason for the superatom formula being Ni2O2 instead of NiO is in the Wiki 
entry. And it is worth noting that the normal oxide of nickel has a melting 
point which is a whopping 500 degrees C higher than the metal, so this fits the 
circumstances. BTW – the Russians are laying claim to the nickel superatom, as 
well (not sure if Peter mentioned this):

I cannot find a reference for the m.p. of the nickel superatom, but it is 
probably in the range of 2000C like the other oxides – so yes, Rossi could be 
right for the wrong reason… in that he thinks the catalyst is still only nickel 
which has melted - when instead the active part is the nickel superatom Ni2O2 
which by the way, mimics hafnium.

 

Hafnium has been called a “supercatalyst” but is toxic and extremely expensive. 
It is mentioned in several LENR patents including that of the German mystery 
company PURRATIO AG.

Superatoms are clusters of atoms that mimic elements through isoelectric 
configurations of their valence electrons.

In May 2008 Japanese researcher Yoshiaki Arata (Osaka University)
demonstrated an experiment that produced heat when deuterium gas was
introduced into a cell containing a mixture of palladium and zirconium
oxide. In an August 2009 peer reviewed paper Akira Kitamura (Kobe
University) et al. reported about replication of this experiment.
Replication of earlier work by Arata had been claimed by McKubre at SRI.

Miley’s device, does not require an external heat source, relying on the
chemical reactions within it to produce the heat energy needed to run the
unit. The fuel is ZrO2 (zirconium dioxide) and deuterium pressurized to 413
kilo pascals (60 psi).
