silicide

Iran would irradiate uranium silicide pellets in the reactor to produce medical isotopes, primarily molybdenum-99.

The device is filled with a powdery substance known as sodium silicide that produces hydrogen gas in the presence of .

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 new silicide coating with which all space ships have been covered, is proof against all electrical action.

As the name indicates, silicides are binary compounds consisting of silicon and some other element.
