My belief now is it does not exist (i.e. not exothermic). Using The Google,
I found one reference on the internets to this reaction:
3 NiO + 2 Al => 3 Ni + Al2O3 + heat
I.e. nickel oxide forming the oxidizer. Which suggests the one I mentioned
isn't thermodynamically possible. But I'm not absolutely sure.
