It is this internal heater that forms the H- ions (like a cathode)
needed to make the Rossi reaction function so productively. This
internal heater acts as a spill over catalyst to create H- ions. Rossi
calls this his secret catalyst.
Also, this is why you cannot find any traces of the secret catalyst
element(s) in the ash product of the reaction. The internal heater acts
at a distance and does not come in contact with the catalyst on the wall
of the reaction vessel.
So perhaps Focardi mistook (maybe "intentionally") that with some kind
of electrolysis in his last radio interview [1]? He said that Rossi used
electrolysis to generate hydrogen on-the-fly for his E-Cat reactors in
his factory at Bondeno. Rossi stressed recently that he doesn't use
electrolysis at all [2].
But surely, even if some kind of auxiliary ionizer was used inside the
reactor, that wouldn't be electrolysis.

"At some point in the past, as the device kept working on and on, I
started thinking of a hammer. "Let’s hit it with a hammer!" (Laughs).
Well, what you do is you shut off ... the latest application has nickel
inside it, then the hydrogen is supplied by electrolysis, so that …
because you cannot keep a hydrogen tank at home, of course, it’s
dangerous. Instead we generated it from water by electrolysis.
So, the device kept on working, and I thought to myself: "I guess I’m
going to have to use a hammer to stop it". Until one day Rossi told me
“I stopped it!”. "And how did you do that?". He said: "I cut the power
to the electrolysis, obviously". Right! All you have to do is run the
electrolysis from a separate power source. You cut the power off there,
and once the hydrogen is used up, the device stops by itself.
