Abstract
Mn2+ doped FeS2 thin films were deposited on ITO coated conducting glass substrate at 50 °C in an aqueous medium by simple electrochemical deposition technique. The structural and phase purity of the Mn2+ doped FeS2 thin films were investigated using XRD technique. The XRD analysis revelaed that the fabricated thin films were cubic structure along with the (200) plane preferential orientation. The diffraction peak slightly shifted towards lower 2θ values which confirmed that doping of Mn ions into FeS2 host matrixes. The calculated band gap energy of Mn2+ doped FeS2 thin films showed a red shift of absorption edge compared to undoped FeS2 thin film. EIS indicated that Mn2+ doped FeS2 thin films showed lower charge transfer resistance with better conductivity nature compared to undoped sample. Moreover, the photo electrochemical measurements carried out for the optimized Mn2+ doped FeS2 thin film which revealed the faster migration of photo-induced charge-carriers. Electro catalytic activity of Mn-doped FeS2 thin films were studied for the redox reaction of iodide/triiodide (I−/I3−) by using cyclic voltammetry measurement.
