  Copper(II) sulfide is used in antifouling paints, mixed catalysts and to develop aniline black dyes in textile printing. Further, it is used as a varnish pigment and an oxidizing agent. In addition, it is used as a component of solid state electrodes and thin-film solar cell with cadmium sulfide. It is a moderate conductor of electricity and used in photovoltaics.

  This Echemi brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Echemi product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Echemi.
  Copper(II) sulfide, CuS, [1317-40-4], MW 95.6, occurs in nature as the blue-black mineral covellite, [19138-68-2]. It is insoluble in water but is decomposed by nitric acid. In moist air, it is oxidized to copper(II) sulfate. The rate of oxidation is accelerated in the presence of alkali. Copper(II) sulfide is used as an antifouling pigment and in the preparation of aniline black dyes.

  Copper(II) sulfide is prepared by heating coppersulfide in the presence of excess sulfur in a hydrogen atmosphere. Ethanol solutions of anhydrous copper(II) chloride precipitate the copper(II) sulfide on the addition of hydrogen sulfide.
  Copper(II) sulfide is a copper sulfide in which the metal is in the +2 oxidation state.
  Copper(II) Sulfide powder is available as a 99.99 pure (metals basis) black powder in batch quantities for use as a high-energy density cathode material in an organic electrolyte Li-ion battery, as an electro-ceramic powder, or as a catalyst in other reactions.
  Echemi offers a selection of over 100 high purity products, including metals, metal oxides and metal salts, with 99.999% purity or higher. We can provide Copper (II) Sulfide (CuS) with the purity of 99.99%.
  High-purity and ultra-high purity Copper (II) Sulfide (CuS) materials are crucial components for the research, development, and production of advanced technologies which require optimum properties, performance, and quality.

  Copper monosulfide 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.
  Copper(II) sulfide is an inorganic salt with the formula CuS. It can be found in nature as the mineral covellite. Copper(II) sulfide is one of many copper sulfur binary compounds. The compound is slightly conductive and has potential uses in photovoltaics and as a catalyst.
