FEEDSTOCKS AND METHODS FOR FABRICATION OF IRON ELECTRODES USING SULFIDE-CONTAINING PARTICLES

According to one aspect, a feedstock for fabricating an iron electrode of an electrochemical cell may include iron-containing particles of a first material, sulfide-containing particles of a second material different from the first material, and a barrier material different from each of the first material and the second material, the barrier material at least partially physically separating the sulfide-containing particles from the iron particles, the at least partial physical separation of the iron-containing particles from the sulfide-containing particles maintainable by the barrier material at temperatures at which iron in the iron-containing particles bonds in the solid state.
