ABSTRACT:
Methods of making multi-layered, hydrogen-containing thermite structures including at least one metal layer and at least one metal oxide layer adjacent to the metal layer are disclosed. At least one of the metal layers contains hydrogen, which can be introduced by plasma hydrogenation. The thermite structures can have high hydrogen contents and small dimensions, such as micrometer-sized and nanometer-sized dimensions.
