Disclosed herein is a method for making a combinatorial library comprising disposing on a substrate comprising silicon, graphite, boron, boron carbide, boron nitride, aluminum, germanium, silicon nitride, silicon carbide or silicon boride at least one reactant, wherein the reactants are lithium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium, aluminum or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing reactants; heat treating the - substrate to create a diffusion multiple having at least two phases; contacting the diffusion multiple with hydrogen; detecting any absorption of hydrogen; and/or detecting any desorption of hydrogen. |
