Arnaud, Interesting paper. The quote: "Amorphous MoS3 particles are prepared using a simple chemical method. Several deposition techniques are developed to fabricate electrodes loaded with MoS3 particles. These electrodes are highly active for hydrogen evolution."
... would seem to indicate that it is a spillover catalyst. In Francesco
Celani's work, he based his choice of the constantan wire on the best
available spillover catalyst (aka Romanowski alloy). I wonder how well
amorphous MoS3 compares to constantan?
The bond of H2 is so strong, in principal at 4.48 eV that you get can
actually get more energy burning hydrogen with hydrogen than H2 with O2 ...
<g>... but that assumes you can start with atomic hydrogen. Yet, with a top
spillover catalyst, essentially there is a way to get atomic hydrogen (on
paper).
If it were not for CoE and the intricacies of Gibbs free energy, this
(spillover -> H2 -> spillover) would be the easiest "free energy" in the
Universe.

Jones,
You had spoken about MoS2 or MoS3 as a possible eCat catalyzer.
Are you aware of this publishing? Hydrogen evolution catalyzed by
MoS3 and MoS2 particles
<http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2012/EE/C2EE02835B>
They use anamorphous MoS2 or MoS" as a catalyzer of H2 -> 2 H
reaction in aqueous environment. I didn't read it yet.
Once I will have an 2 hours free, I will have a deep look at it.

In twenty years, the history of LENR may read something like the
history of rubber tires ... and a mirror image of Goodyear's reputedly
serendipitous discovery of vulcanization ... IF (big if)...
... it turns out that Rossi's ECat is a direct descendent of the
Petroldragon reactor, which was originally employed to convert discarded
tires to oil ... then we have come 360 degrees with serendipity. And ECat,
in addition to, and in contrast to vulcanization, comes to the forefront as
one of the luckiest breaks in the history of commerce.
Goodyear : Rossi :: vulcanization : devulcanization
Actually, if this scenario plays out - the underlying technology
would likely be a hybrid of CANR in the context of CQM - using Mills'
Rydberg energy levels but possibly not his entire theory. It is no accident
that many catalysts used in the Bergius process are hexavalent, column 6,
and Mills' catalysts - and since Bergius connects to Petroldragon, and then
to hexavalency and then to CQM theory and f/H ... all one needs to do is
"connect all of the dots" into a mind-blowing saga - is find out that yes,
there was a known thermal anomaly in the Petroldragon reactor which Rossi
went back to after the TEG fiasco in New Hampshire.
Was there?
