Perhaps - but misleading. Pure nickel is not a great proton conductor- and one must pay dearly to get pure nickel. But why? It takes only a small amount of selected other metals, as alloying agents for nickel, to far exceed palladium. For instance, 95% nickel and 5% palladium is superior to palladium, at a fraction of the cost. There is a wealth of data on hydrogen storage alloys which tends to be overlooked as candidate alloys for LENR. Jones
