The existence of a compound made of silicon and carbon was predicted by Berzelius in 1824, and the first successful synthesis of silicon carbide (SiC; moissanite) was achieved 70 years later 1.

Amidimium seems the right direction for this technology, with other reports also indicating that a protective coating of amidimium can radically increase the life span of thin film solar cells .
