Note in Table 3 (page 10) the highest tritium production is in the
experiments having Ni anodes. Ni is an oxide forming metal and can
be conditioned like Zn or Al. Too bad there is no data on anode area.
Note also they are running those experiments at whopping current
densities! At 300 mA/cm^2 they have to be running at a fairly high
voltage. That current density is more than enough to condition an
anode. Hard to believe they could sustain that after an oxide
coating formed - unless using a constant current supply, in which
case it ran the voltage up to the sky by the end.
