I've looked everywhere. Can someone tell me if there is a half cell potential for silicon?

Si(0) ---> Si(4+) + 4e

Every list of the galvanic series on the web that I have seen has no data for silicon.

Try checking in an old inorganic textbook, or a handbook of physics and chemistry.

Interesting; I tried my own advice, looking in an old handbook, but found no datum for that silicon ion. Maybe a newer handbook might have something?
