My impresion is that the reaction isn't that fast (and therefore hot). Does regulating the H2 introduction rate modulate the rate of reaction? Maybe there is a gas mixture that quenches the reaction.
Doesn't vapor deposition tend to work just the visible/exposed parts of the object(s) in the chamber?
I'm sure people smarter than I am have looked into fabrication and control options - I was just offering my knee jerk reaction.

Same here.
I had an idea concernign stellar astrophysics!
If there is a reaction that takes place between nickel and hydrogen, should there be a signature in it in supernova explosions? Maybe something like more expected copper than usual showing up in the spectra lines?
Or certain isotopes of Nickel being “used up” in supernova explosions as it reacts with the remaining hydrogen????
Could be a good “proof” of the reaction show in nature.

Yes.
