Sulphidation of Cu2+, CuO and Cu2O within the matrix of carboxylic cation exchangers – compositional, morphological and thermal properties of CuxS containing composites

Dataset contains raw results related to the work described in the manuscript entitled: Sulphidation of Cu2+, CuO and Cu2O within the matrix of carboxylic cation exchangers – compositional, morphological and thermal properties of CuxS containing composites. The study aimed to optimize the synthesis of novel hybrid ion exchangers and evaluate the dispersion of copper sulphides within the porous polymeric phase. CuxS fine particles were embedded within carboxylic cation exchangers (CCEs) using different copper precursors: Cu2+ connected with functional groups (a), dispersed CuO particles (b), and dispersed Cu2O particles (c). The study evaluated the impact of the CCEs’ structure (gel-type or macroporous) and the copper precursor (Cu2+, CuO, or Cu2O) on the quantity, chemical composition, distribution and morphology of CuxS.Two zipped data sets are attached:Raw the powder X-ray diffraction analysis results. The files are in format .raw.Photographs of hybrid cation exchangers taken with a scanning electron microscope. The files are in format .tif.
