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. Iron pyrite quantum dots, by contrast, have iron close to the surface due to their small size, and this energy storage process can occur reversibly over many cycles.
