dc.description.abstract	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.	en
