Piantelii is my good friend but I do not remember that he has worked with nickel oxide. The problem with NiO is that it will be reduced with H2 and the formed water will build a great pressure in the cell. Not a problem that cannot be solved- e.g. the Cincinnati zircoanium group cell I have worked with was also at a high pressure and we had no accidents. But why NiO? peter
