yes, zirc oxide works- I am well aware of that - notice my patent using that: http://www.google.com/patents/US8303865 with Pd and Ni sub 1 micron in size. However, I like my carbon based material better. I can throw more current through it and it makes the size of metal particles right about where I want them (normally 9 nm for mesopore C).

To hold the particles apart, you might say. Takahashi says they are not melting. Hydrogen reactions are causing them to glom together. I wouldn't know, but that is what he says. He points out that the temperature is sometimes lower with an active cold fusion run than with a control run. Yes, but I wonder if the local temperature in the nanopowder is not higher. - Jed
