Jones Beene's post reminds me of Les Cases' claimed heat with Pd-D in an
activated charcoal catalyst matrix.
Wouldn't a hardwood board heated above 350 C in an oven under a few hundred atmospheres
of D2 pressure produce a "charcoal board" that could replace Pd as an electrolysis cathode?
BTW, biomass inherently contains potassium and lithium (usually carbonates).
Maybe my biomass technology experience will finally yield some fruit. :-)
