"The gist is that adding electricity to metal may make some light. What’ll they think of next?!" Except that the emission isn't being triggered by the electricity, but rather by the impact of a high-energy charged particle.
From the abstract: "~3 MeV is the lowest energy of the alpha particle to penetrate through the Ni film and to reach the scintillator."
You don't get 3MEV particles from electrolysis-level voltages.

“ You don’t get 3MEV particles from electrolysis-level voltages.”
Do you get them from trace radioactive isotopes in the metals? That would explain the very low rate of scintillation.

Is the 3MeV emission the result of alpha particle decay?
