Silica aerogel superinsulation is thermal insulation made from nanoporous silica aerogel, with conductivity of 5 to 20 mW/(m·K), used in buildings, transport, apparel, and electric-vehicle batteries.

Silica scaling geothermal

Silica scaling in geothermal power plants is the deposition of solid silica from cooling, depressurized brine on wellbores, piping, and injection wells, often forcing plants to limit output or shut down.

Silicide thermoelectrics

Silicide thermoelectrics are thermoelectric materials based on compounds of silicon with metals, such as Mg2(Si,Sn) and manganese silicide, developed for low-cost waste-heat power generation using abundant, non-toxic elements.

Silicon anode

A silicon anode is a lithium-ion battery electrode using silicon instead of graphite, storing roughly ten times more lithium but limited by its large volume change.
