The addition of carbon based material in a gas based LENR system may well be due to the increase in the dielectric property of the gas provided by the addition of the hydrocarbon.
Dielectric Constant of some common Liquids http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/liquid-dielectric-constants-d_1263.html This table points to Glycerine or Glycerol among others as the best additive if dielectric increase is the important factor.
