Treknology:

"[Dilithium crystal] is the only material known to Federation science to be nonreactive with antimatter when subjected to a high-frequency electromagnetic (EM) field in the megawatt range, rendering it 'porous' to antihydrogen." [Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, p.60]

"Deuterium [bIQSIp 'ugh] was also used as one of the reactants in the matter/antimatter reaction system in those ships' warp drive. The deuterium was the matter, and anti-hydrogen served as the antimatter. (TNG 'Relics')"  [Star trek Encyclopedia]
