Synthesis of iron pyrite with defined morphology has long been actively pursued, due to the strong size and shape dependence of their chemical and physical properties. This review provides comprehensive information outlining current knowledge regarding the morphology controllable syntheses of micro-and nano-iron pyrite mono-and poly-crystals. The wet-chemical methods are summarized as the controllable syntheses, including the hydrothermal, solvothermal, hot-injection and heating-up methods, sulphidation and methods with other relatively high efficiencies. The present study reveals the discussion of relationship between the morphologies and major controlling factors, the temperature, precursor chemicals, solvents and surfactants. The existing challenges for future fine tuning of iron pyrite facets are also proposed for improving the performance of iron pyrite based materials.

“…The experiment was carried out at a pressure of around 3.5 mTorr in the presence of argon. The characterization techniques showed the thickness of deposited films ranging from 40 to 120 nm, but the purity of pyrite was less than expected without homogeneous composition …”

“…As a modification of laser ablation, Henda et al used a pulsed electron deposition (PED) technique, in which energetic electrons are aimed at target material instead of photons. PED uses smaller pulses as compared to laser ablation and provides better electrical efficiency along with an enhanced deposition rate. , The study prepared pyrite thin films onto Pyrex glass substrates from a target material consisting of elemental iron and sulfur. The experiment was carried out at a pressure of around 3.5 mTorr in the presence of argon.…”

With an increase in energy demand and the depletion of conventional fuels, solar cells are emerging as an excellent alternative, providing a sustainable and clean source. Solar cells consisting of different materials have been introduced in recent years, and the overall performance defined by these materials has a lot of potential to increase. Transition metal dichalcogenides have gained significant importance due to their advantageous properties and promising potential. Iron disulfide or pyrite is one such material that has risen as a favorable material for photovoltaics cells owing to its suitable band gap, high absorption coefficient, and low cost. Not only this, the “earth abundance” and nontoxicity have also increased its prospects as a photovoltaic material. This study aims to review recent progress on the synthesis of pyrite and its utilization in photovoltaics. Different methods used for the synthesis of pyrite are reviewed followed by the properties of pyrite, the challenges that hinder its efficiency, and the possibilities of further research in this area.

“…A further advantage of PPD is the possibility to produce films with a controlled stoichiometry of the target, even for complex compounds, such as La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 [2]. In the framework of photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications, PPD has been employed for the deposition of a wide range of inorganic thin films, such as tungsten-doped thin oxide [1,4], pyrite [17], and transparent conductive p-type lithium doped [6] and potassium-doped [7] nickel oxide. Efforts have been also devoted to investigating the role of PPD operating conditions (i.e., substrate temperature, electron beam energy) and of the target's characteristics (such as density and composition) on the properties of the deposited coatings [18][19][20].…”

The Pulsed Electron Deposition Technique for Biomedical Applications: A Review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The "pulsed electron deposition" (PED) technique, in which a solid target material is ablated by a fast, high-energy electron beam, was initially developed two decades ago for the deposition of thin films of metal oxides for photovoltaics, spintronics, memories, and superconductivity, and dielectric polymer layers. Recently, PED has been proposed for use in the biomedical field for the fabrication of hard and soft coatings. The first biomedical application was the deposition of low wear zirconium oxide coatings on the bearing components in total joint replacement. Since then, several works have reported the manufacturing and characterization of coatings of hydroxyapatite, calcium phosphate substituted (CaP), biogenic CaP, bioglass, and antibacterial coatings on both hard (metallic or ceramic) and soft (plastic or elastomeric) substrates. Due to the growing interest in PED, the current maturity of the technology and the low cost compared to other commonly used physical vapor deposition techniques, the purpose of this work was to review the principles of operation, the main applications, and the future perspectives of PED technology in medicine.
