The first nuclear bombs were fission devices. The fissile materials used are Uranium 235 and Plutonium 239.
Later bombs were thermonuclear or fusion weapons. The material used in some early experimental devices was tritium ( kept liquid at very low temperature). Modern thermonuclear devices use lithium 6 deuteride. Fusion weapons contain a small fission bomb to set them off.
