All in all, this Zhao paper reinforces the strategy of JoJo and/or anyone else who may be considering it - to work with hydrogen and CNT. I hope that a number of experimenters can get hold of adequate material to try, and will report results, even if negative.
If you want to tie this paper into a particular Ni-H theory – there is the
nanomagnetism concept of Ahern. That theory is a work in progress, but it
fits right into the picture of high-temperature local superconductivity for
sustaining near-fields and thereby reducing randomness, in order to arguably
form a ‘transient condensate.’
As to why magnetism would be important – very simply this gets back to
another form of structural uniformity, and to boson statistics. Two bound
protons in a Casimir cavity represent the bare minimum composite boson, but
already at identical ‘compreture’ due to the cavity containment. Magnetism
aligns spin, so immediately you have a near-condensate in the sense of
extreme DFR ("Divergence From Randomness") in the physical properties of
those atoms.
Even if - from this highly structured but non-cryogenic state forward - a
“virtual BEC” can lasts only a picosecond due to thermal irregularities –
all the better … since on decay of the transient condensate - there will be
an expected huge acceleration gradient, courtesy of Coulomb repulsion. A
transient or virtual BEC may actually be preferred over the ultracold
variety.

Axil: The above paper attempts to prove that carbon
nanotubes are superconductive at very high temperatures by imbedding nickel
nanoparticles in the outside wall of a multi walled nanotube and detecting
magnetic changes produced by superconductivity.
The paper mentioned possible critical temperatures of 1000 K
or more…
