Solvothermal Synthesis of Pyrite (FeS2)

Article Preview

Abstract:

Pyrite nano-powder was synthetized in a high-pressure solvothermal process in the ethanediol solvent, with Fe(NO3)3·9H2O and NH2CSNH2 as the raw materials. The sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the results show that the product has a pure phase in a typical cubic crystal. The effects of temperature, aging time and surfactant on the shape of the crystallites were investigated systematically. The nano-powder synthetized shows itself in various micro-shapes such as granule, globular and flake, with its diameter ranging from hundreds of nanometers to one micrometer.
