Like so much in LENR engineering, the key to success in LENR is the preparation of the surface of the substrate, Piantelli's nickel bars, Mizono electrodes, Rossi's nickel nanopowder, co-deposition of palladium hydride, all owe their success in achieving the LENR reaction to the proper preparation of the surface of the metal lattice.
In the early day of F&P, it was not apparent that surface preparation was the key to unleashing the LENR reaction in the wet palladium environment. This step to properly prepare the surface of the palladium lattice was revealed in the co-disposition process. Yes, now that this method is known, it is all so easy. But it took a long time to learn what to do to get the LENR reaction to appear.
