[snip] For Ni to be a Mills catalyst it needs to lose at least 5 electrons in one hit. Personally, I think that is stretching things a bit. I have also never heard of Mills himself using Ni as a Mills catalyst. He does use it as an "ordinary" catalyst, where the primary function is to split Hydrogen molecules into atoms.
