One of the final decomposition products in the fuel bearing LiAlH4 is LiH. LiH decomposes in the 900-1000ºC range to Li metal and hydrogen. Note that LiH is an *ionic hydride*. That means that the hydrogen has more or less permanently grabbed an electron from the Li, making it an H- anion inside the compound. Decomposition of LiH is reversible, and I suspect at high temperatures and at the Parkhomov hydrogen pressures, the LiH is still liquid.
Since the SEM images of the fuel https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5Pc25a4cOM2fllFSWpFNVJoUlIxbERhRTE2M2FTY0s3TU9sZ2FsVG5wMGdodlE2ZW1JMVE&usp=sharing show the Li-Al-Ni-H metal engulfing the Ni foam sintered webs, at 1000ºC, this metal alloy was liquid and was supplying - wait for it - hydrogen anions directly to the surface of the Ni. Hmmm, sounds like Piantelli's patent. Piantelli implicated the H- ion on the surface of the Ni in LENR. Bob Higgins
