This paper presents the comparative data on thermal properties of five compounds of nanocrystalline copper sulfides Kx Cu1.85 S (0 < x < 0.05) at the temperature range from 300 to 700 K. X-ray phase analysis shows that Cu31 S16 (or Cu1.9375 S) monoclinic djurleite phase are found as prevailing in all Kx Cu1.85 S samples (0.01< x < 0.05). Also in all samples there are oxygen oxide Cu2 O and orthorhombic anilite Cu7 S4 (Cu1.75 S). Variable components of the alloys are monoclinic and hexagonal chalcocite, triclinic roxbyite. The sizes of crystallites in the alloys estimated from half-width of X-ray lines are in the range from 11 to 265 nm at room temperature. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed considerable endothermic thermal effect in the temperature range from 370 to 375 K for all compounds, obviously caused by the superionic phase transition from monoclinic djurleite to hexagonal chalcocite. The thermal conductivity of alloys decreases to 0.16 ÷ 0.25 W K−1m−1 in the temperature range of 450 – 600 K due to an increase in the amount of potassium (for x = 0.04, 0.05). This favors the achievement of high thermoelectric figure of merit of the material. The obtained results are important for semiconductor materials used in the field of thermoelectric devices.
