Abstract
A thermite composition includes at least one composite particle having a convoluted lamellar structure having alternating metal oxide layers including a metal oxide and metal layers including a metal capable of reducing the metal oxide. The metal oxide layers and metal layers both have an average thickness of between 10 nm and 1 μm. Molar proportions of the metal oxide and metal is within 30% of being stoichiometric for a thermite reaction.
