Electrolytic synthesis of FeS2 for thin-layer lithium battery

Purposeful synthesis of iron sulfide FeS 2 films for a lithium battery were purposefully synthesized on a 18N12Kh9T steel cathode from a solution containing Mohr’s salt and Na 2 S 2 O 3 . Various aspects of synthesis were studied. Thin-film Fe-sulfide synthesis products were tested in a prototype lithium battery and also in a lithium-ion system. The synthesized electrolytic iron sulfide FeS 2 with a marcasite structure is capable of reversible electrochemical transformation with output of 390 mA h g −1 in negative electrodes of the lithium-ion system with a LiMn 2 O 4 counter electrode.
