Thanks to Jonas Matuzas for posting the following article in the Always Open thread.
It is a pre-print article, which has been accepted for publication in the Japanese Journal of Applied Physics titled “Anomalous heat generation that cannot be explained by known chemical reactions produced by nano-structured multilayer metal composites and hydrogen gas”

Anomalously large heat generation phenomena that cannot be explained by any known chemical processes was discovered: Ni-based nano-structured multilayer metal composites were preloaded with hydrogen gas and heated rapidly to diffuse hydrogen and trigger the heat generation reaction. Maximum energy released per total hydrogen absorption was over 10 keV/H and no gamma rays or neutrons, which are harmful to the human body, were observed. It is possible to intentionally induce the heat burst phenomenon, which can increase the amount of heat generated without any new energy input. This can be applied to reaction control as well as to improve the accuracy of heat generation evaluation. A common feature, that regions of very high oxygen concentrations are observed in places, was observed in the heat-producing samples. At this time, however, the discussion of this oxygen concentration as nuclear in origin must exclude the possibility of many chemical processes.
Here is a video presentation from Clean Planet about their process which they call Quantum Hydrogen Energy
