Eventually what has started in 1989 as Cold Fusion became an energy source on the way to commercialization. It is a performance of the Italian scientists; first Francesco Piantelli from the Univ. of Siena

has discovered and developed the process as a science of the Ni-H low energy nuclear reactions, then Prof Sergio Focardi from the Bologna Univ and especially inventor Andrea Rossi (Italy and USA) - made it commercial. You can read about this in http;//www.newenergytimes.com and evn in my blog http://egooutpeters.blogspot.com (label NEW ENERGY) It is a very important, extremely interesting and complex story But the essence of it (for this community) is that the sine qua non condition for the system to work- intensively, reproducibly, continuously, upscalably, safely and economically- is THE PROPER NANOCLUSTER STRUCTURE of Nickel.

I have tried to study the literature on nano-nickel, found many patents but I was not able to discover

the basic principles, theoretical understanding and key institutions, search teams and people.

if somebody here on Nanopaprika can help... perhaps this will lead to collaborations, discoveries, new lines of resear5ch. Thank you in advance for any guidance.

  • Dear Prof,

    I am working in Council of Scientific Industrial Research organisation -CECRI ai Karaikudi, South India as Sr Scientist. I am experienced more than three decades on Electrodeposition of Nickel and copper & their alloys. We have developed certain processes for Nono crystalline nickel deposit or foil and its alloys as  around 80nanometer. This is a simple process and any one can generate nickel foil at their lab.

    • Dear Colleague,

      Thank you!

      It is specifically about Ni nanoclusters- please take a look tonthe patent application 2010/058288

      for a start. 

      Very soon a huge research campaign will start worldwide to develop the science, technology art of manufacture of  the optimal nano-nickel variety. Forv the context please visit http://www.newenrgytimes.com or my own blog, label NEW ENERGY at http://egooutpeters.blogspot.com

       

      Best wishes,

      Peter
