From: [email protected] What about Naturwissenschaften, or Journal of electroanalythical chemistry ?
FWIW an article turned up on J. Elec. Chem. which could have some relevance to LENR. Check the latest issue for: “Electrochemical supercapacitor behavior of α-Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles” for this tidbit of info: Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles exhibit specific capacitance of over 500 F g−1 ! (paywall prohibits more detail) Imagine that - in the context of LENR. Ni-O coated nanospheres are widely available (HUD group has some under test) and would form nickel hydroxide on hydrogen exposure. You can imagine what happens to any small capacitor when overloaded and transpose that to LENR. He is an image of a 10 uF cap exploding (10 microfarad) http://i591.photobucket.com/albums/ss355/bill2009_photos/cap1.jpg Presumably, a microgram of Ni hydroxide would have 50 times greater explosive power than this, but of greater interest would be the overloading individual excitons in a way that does not result in failure of the structure. AFAIK no one has ever proposed before now that one form of LENR consists of sequential overloading of capacitive nanoparticles. In an exciton there is a “free electron” and a “hole”. A positively-charged electron hole is generally considered to be an abstraction for the location from which an electron was moved. However, perhaps the electron hole is something more than abstraction, in LENR. You heard it first on vortex :-)
