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 Cu_xS 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. Cu_xS 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 Cu_xS.
