Vanderbilt researchers find iron pyrite quantum dots boost performance of sodium-ion and Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

nm, average) of iron pyrite (FeS 2 ) nanoparticles are advantageous to sustain reversible conversion reactions in sodium ion and lithium ion batteries. The researchers discovered that iron pyrite has a unique way of changing form into an iron and a lithium-sulfur (or sodium-sulfur) compound to store energy.
