Ferrous sulfide, also known as iron(II) sulfide, is a black, inorganic compound with the chemical formula FeS. It is found naturally as the mineral troilite. It can be synthesized by directly reacting iron with sulfur, or by reacting iron with hydrogen sulfide gas. Ferrous sulfide is studied extensively due to its role in the production of iron and steel. It is also an important component of certain types of batteries and pigments. It is used as a precursor to iron-sulfur batteries, which are a promising alternative to traditional lead-acid batteries. In addition, ferrous sulfide is also used as a catalyst in some chemical reactions. When exposed to air and moisture, ferrous sulfide oxidizes and decomposes. The decomposition products are typically iron oxides and sulfur dioxide. This decomposition process can lead to corrosion of iron-containing materials, particularly in environments that are rich in sulfur.'
