A method of forming a gas generant according to various implementations includes the steps of providing a mixture of copper nitrate and water and adding melamine and guanidine carbonate to the copper nitrate and water mixture at room temperature. Next, the melamine, guanidine carbonate, copper nitrate, and water mixture is mixed and heated to form a melamine nitrate, guanidine nitrate, basic copper nitrate, and water mixture. The heating and mixing step may be performed at a temperature in the range of 50° C. to 60° C. for at least 20 minutes. Then, the melamine nitrate, guanidine nitrate, basic copper nitrate, and water mixture is dried to form the gas generant comprising melamine nitrate, guanidine nitrate, and basic copper nitrate. The method may further comprise a step of adding an additional fuel, an additional oxidizer, or an additive. Also disclosed is a gas generant made by the method described above.
