Application

Pyrite serves as a cost-effective cathode material in thermal batteries due to its high energy density and thermal stability. In geochemical research, it is employed as a proxy for studying redox conditions in ancient sedimentary environments. The semiconductor properties of pyrite make it valuable in photovoltaic research for developing thin-film solar cells. Additionally, its catalytic activity is explored in heterogeneous catalysis and environmental remediation processes.
