Product Name: Copper Monosulfide Powder

Copper Monosulfide Powder Description: 

Copper monosulfide Powder is a chemical compound of copper and sulfur. It occurs in nature as the dark indigo blue mineral covellite.

It is a moderate conductor of electricity. A black colloidal precipitate of CuS is formed when hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, is bubbled through solutions of Cu salts.

It is one of several binary compounds of copper and sulfur see copper sulfide for an overview of this subject and has attracted interest because of its potential uses in catalysis and photovoltaics Copper sulfide crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal system, and this is the form of the mineral covellite.

There is also an amorphous high-pressure form which based on the Raman spectrum has been described as having a distorted covellite structure. An amorphous room temperature semiconducting form produced by the reaction of an ethylenediamine complex with thiourea has been reported, which transforms into the crystalline covellite form at 30 °C.

The crystal structure of covellite has been reported several times, and whilst these studies are in general agreement on assigning the space group P63/mmc there are small discrepancies in bond lengths and angles between them.

The structure was described as “extraordinary” by Wells and is quite different from copper oxide, but similar to CuSe (klockmannite). The covellite unit cell contains 6 formula units 12 atoms.
