Internet rumours not verifiable claim this may be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raney_nickel "Raney-Nickel"], since two fires in Rossi's laboratories were caused by "Raney-Nickel". Foardi states that he does not know the composition of the catalyzer himself, only Rossi knows it. Focardi gave some speculations about the compound in a radio inverview on March 6, 2011. He believes that it is a chemical compound, not an element. It is not uranium. The obvious purpose of the substance is to catalyse the transformation of heated hydrogen gas (H2) in atomic hydrogen. (a discussion of possible catalysts for this purpose can be found in a paper of Romanowski from 1999<ref>S. Romanowski, W. M. Bartczak, R. Wesołkowski: ''Density Functional Calculations of the Hydrogen Adsorption on Transition Metals and Their Alloys. An Application to Catalysis'', (3.8.1999), Langmuir, 1999, 15 (18), Pages 5773–5780 - DOI: 10.1021/la981339q

Francesco Scaramuzzi, who claimed 1989 to have realized cold fusion with (heavy) hydrogen and metals in Italy, had used titan as "fusionhelper".
