Well if you can come up with a way to make them work, I’m all ears. But to the best of my knowledge no one has come up with a way to get any practical usage out of them. Lighting a few LED’s sure, but coming up with enough power to run my frig, TV and laptop is a different story. I suppose it could be done, but you will likely spend more trying than solar panels and batteries. I understand that early telegraph companies tried to use them but found it to be unreliable as when the ground dried out they quit working. But if you get even 50 watts out of them I would love to hear about it.
