Silicon. Error out of habit. Boron is good in theory. Not so good in practice
due to combustion issues. A considerable amount of effort has been made for
it's use in air breathing systems.

Aluminum lithium alloy is an interesting fuel component in small
motors due to its increased combustion efficiency. Amorphous silicone
has also been demonstrated to work well in this regard. Even though it
has a lower theoretical specific impulse than aluminum, its
demonstrated impulse can be higher again due to its higher combustion
efficiency.
