A key advance is the use of junctions with metal-silicide barriers that produce stable steps and have uniform electrical properties.

His work with alkali metals led to a green process to harness the power of sodium silicide, which is the source for SiGNa's new product.
From the sciencedaily.com
SiGNa makes a sodium silicide powder that, when mixed with water, releases hydrogen gas that many fuel cells use to create an electrical charge.

The resulting nickel silicide nanowires were found to carry an extremely high current for their cross-sectional area, making them potentially useful as nanoscale conductors.
