What Rossi has done is as follows:
Generate large amounts of H- ions using a rare earth emitter of electrons coating the filament of his internal heater. These rare earth elements purify the hydrogen gas by absorbing trace contaminating gases like oxygen and nitrogen. The nickel powder has many atomic holes formed by the removal of oxygen from the nickel powder at reactor startup.
