Abstract Pyrite has been an important subject in the research field of mineralogy.The research of pyrite is especially flourishing since pyrite was found to have outstanding performance on photoelectric conversion and can be used to as solar cell material recently.The natural pyrite cannot meet the requirements due to impurities and defects;artificial fabrication of pure,non-defective pyrite becomes an effective way to solve this problem.This paper reviewed the main preparation methods,method parameters,and the product features of artificial Pyrite crystal and thin film.Summarized the current research situations,this paper proposed that the crystal growth theory in artificial fabrication of Pyrite should be strengthened in the future.To take advantage of the excellent physical and mechanical properties of Pyrite whiskers and nanowire array and the superior mineralogical characteristics of natural Pyrite whisker,the author expected more attention to be paid on the preparation of Pyrite whisker,and thought the application of Pyrite whisker must has a vast potential for future development.
