Iron pyrite, also known as iron disulfide, has been classified as one of the most promising
materials for both thin film and photoelectrochemical (PEC) solar cells. In this study, iron pyrite was
grown on tin oxide coated glass substrate. Iron oxide was first grown by spray pyrolysis and then
sulfurized to convert the iron oxide into iron pyrite. The deposition parameters were optimized. Iron
pyrite was characterized with respect to its optical and structural properties. Finally, a PEC solar cell
was fabricated with iron pyrite as photoanode.
