Thanks, Ed.
The implied question in my response to the original post was really
directed more towards the actual process of producing Raney Nickel than
what you can do with it thereafter. The chemical reaction is apparently
strongly exothermic (in and of itself) and progresses faster at higher
temperatures, so any anomalous heat could easily be overlooked - or
dismissed as being the heat of combustion due to contact with O2.
Might be worth a look though, I think.

Hi Andy,
I heat it with H2 and looked for heat and radiation. I saw nothing
unusual. I did not explore this in depth because I did not expect it
to be active. Nevertheless, it might be active under other conditions
I did not explore. I was more interested in other materials that were
active.
