"First of the major publications coming out of HERMES project is out now. We are looking at fundamental aspects of proton electroreduction at Pd surfaces."
teppo The paper seems to be basic science research, about metallurgy details on PdH. Can you explain if there are key finding , beyond measuring parameters. I see it may give hints how to optimize Pd nanostructures?
Sorry, I'm not part of the project nor any expert, so I can't really help.
But yes, to me it seems to be dealing with the optimization of nanostructures to find the greatest activity, i.e. the creation of foundations for further research.
Can someone with better understanding comment on this?
This is not specific to LENRs that researchers manage to find money for any research useful or not in order to fill their bank account each 31st .
It already exists dozen and dozen papers on the net in this way of investigation...

There is a lot of voltametry results that have already been explored by SKINR, Violente, Google-sponsored, etc...
It adds some DFT calculations and the big chunk is on this n-EC-STM which I find very interesting. Overall, not a ground shaking paper, but it shows their research path, they wan to do systematic analysis of the electrochemical process and the crystal changes induced by the formation of PdH hydride.
This will be useful research in my opinion.
On the political side, they are very cautious. F&P paper is only cited in the 39th reference, but too bad for them, the formatting put it right at the top of the last page. "God has it ways..." 
I suppose CleanHME EU has it's own thread... this could be moved there or to the ICCF-24 thread...
I intend to research these folks soon,.. papers, patents, companies and skill sets of those involved. With a little help I am certain they could successfully enter the market soon.
CleanHME - US?
Is anyone working on this?
Such a consortium could be created in the US to seek DoE funding. Perhaps Brillouin Energy Corporation, and others deserve ARPA-E funding. Pressure could be put to challenge their (BEC) recent ARPA-E rejection. Seems to me that Larry Page and Lawrence Forsley could act as spokespersons for the group and open some doors into the DoE considering their long-standing CMNS research partnerships with DoE and other US National Laboratories.

"The research team of prof. In 2019, Konrad Czerski prepared two applications for funding research under: • Horizon 2020: CleanHME aimed at the development of energy technologies related to the use of cold fusion, for the amount of PLN 25 130 013.75. This application has been approved by the European Commission, and contracts between the consortium members are currently being prepared. The University of Szczecin is the leader of this project involving 17 entities from all over the world."

Easy to mix up. I had to do some searching a little while ago, just find where to copy Teppo's post about Czerski's paper. Just to be sure; Czerski is with CleanHME...right?
Just to be sure; Czerski is with CleanHME.
Right
These threads were, basically, missed by me... I was extremely busy then.
I'm studying both threads from the beginning and all the HERMES archived papers and documents.
Great threads to keep up to date on.
Extremely savvy and skilled folks. Storms et.al. are most likely 👍 impressed. The MIT CleanHME folks as well.

Electrodeposition of Pd on CR-39

Anomalous heat and energetic particle generation in electrochemical co-deposition of Pd/D has been a
controversial problem since the first reports of such effects in late 1980s. During the “cold fusion boom”
of 1990s the phenomenon was widely researched but no conclusive results were achieved and low energy
nuclear reaction was labeled mostly as pseudoscience. Some research has continued until present day and
there has been growing interest in recent years on revisiting the topic of cold fusion as the world is in ever
more dire need of new sustainable energy generation technologies.
One of the greatest problems with cold fusion, along with the lack of suitable theoretical framework, is
the low reproducibility of the experiments, especially the ones where excess heat has been reported. The
basis of this work performed within the Horizon 2020 FET Proactive project HERMES has been in
reproducing experiments performed by Mosier-Boss et. al. [1-2] and in identifying what variables affect
the number of observed energetic particle tracks left on CR-39 nuclear track detectors.
In this work Pd/D co-deposition was performed in an electrochemical cell in the presence of a CR-39
nuclear track detector. Upon depositing palladium on Ag wire, dendritic structures were formed and after
the multi-day experiments had finished the etched CR-39 detectors were analyzed for signs of high
energy particles. Energetic particles break the polymer chains of CR-39 plastic which grow into visible
pits when etched with an alkaline solution. The experiments were performed with many combinations of
different electroactive species (PdCl2, CuCl2, PtCl2) with different supporting electrolytes (LiCl and KCl)
and dissolved in either H2O or D2O. The contents of the electrolytes before and after the experiments
were analyzed with ICP-MS to detect possible deviations of Pd isotope ratios from the natural abundance
ratios. We will summarize our results in this poster.

Thanks teppo , no luck finding the poster itself, the abstract is really good at picking one’s curiosity.
Hi Curbina, I asked but I haven't got any answer so far...
EDIT:
I received answer from mr. Pyyhtiä. He told me that the poster will be available in due time on the project's website, but the goal is to get the results published first.
He also apologized for not being able to say more at the moment.

Well, thanks for this teppo !!! It’s good news anyway.
