Evaluating the reactivity of pyrite on Mars under current and ancient geochemical environments

Evaluating the reactivity of pyrite on Mars under current and ancient geochemical environments

Alteration of pyrite-bearing basalt on Mars could provide an important source of sulfates, iron oxides/hydroxides and amorphous silica. Natural semiconducting minerals can undergo photooxidation reactions under UV irradiation due to the generation of electron holes. In this work, we experimentally i...
