Abstract
Phase equilibria and thermodynamics in the Ag2SnS3–SnS–Sn2S3–FeS system were investigated using differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and EMF methods. Determined phase relations were used to express the forming chemical reactions for compounds Ag2FeSn3S8 and Ag2FeSnS4. The forming chemical reactions were performed by applying electrochemical cells of the types: (–) C | Ag | Ag3GeS3I glass | Ag2FeSn3S8, SnS, Sn2S3, FeS | C (+) and (–) C | Ag | Ag3GeS3I glass | Ag2FeSnS4, SnS, Ag2FeSn3S8, FeS | C (+). Based on the measured EMF versus temperature relations, experimental thermodynamic data of the quaternary phases Ag2FeSn3S8 and Ag2FeSnS4 were derived for the first time.
