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.

Methods of making multilayered, hydrogen-containing intermetallic structures including at least two adjacent metal layers are disclosed. At least one of the metal layers contains hydrogen, which can be introduced into the metal by plasma hydrogenation. The intermetallic structures can have high hydrogen contents and micrometer-sized and nanometer-sized dimensions.
