Iron pyrite is among the promising solar materials owing to its remarkably high optical absorption, optimal band gap, abundance, and non-toxicity. However, its solar conversion efficiency is limited to about 3 % mainly due to its low photovoltage. To address that, thin films prepared by spray pyr...
