ZnS:Mn-glycine (ZnS:Mn-Gly) nanocomposites were synthesized by capping ZnS:Mn nanocomposites with glycine. Zinc sulfate heptahydrate ($ZnSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$), glycine ($C_2H_5NO_2$), manganese sulfate monohydrate ($MnSO_4{\cdot}H_2O$), and sodium sulfide ($Na_2S$) were used as the source reagents. $ZnS:Mn-Gly-C_{60}$ nanocomposites were obtained by heating the ZnS:Mn-Gly nanocomposites and fullerene ($C_{60}$) at a 2:1 mass ratio in an electric furnace at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to characterize the crystal structure of the synthesized nanocomposites. The photocatalytic activity of the $ZnS:Mn-Gly-C_{60}$ nanocomposites was evaluated, via the degradation of brilliant green (BG) dye under 254 nm irradiation, with a UV-vis spectrophotometer.

The luminescence intensity of calcium sulfide codoped with $Eu^{2+},\;Si^{4+}\;and\;Ga^{3+}$ was investigated as a function of the dopant concentration. An enhancement of the red luminescence resulted from the incorporation of $Si^{4+}\;and\;Ga^{3+}\;into\;CaS:Eu^{2+}.\;The\;non-codoped\;CaS:Eu^{2+}$ converted only 3.0% of the absorbed blue light into luminescence. As the $Si^{4+}\;and\;Ga^{3+}$ were embedded into the host lattice, the luminescence intensity increased and reached a maximum of Q = 10.0% at optimized concentrations of the codopants in CaS. Optimized CaS:$Eu^{2+},Si^{4+},Ga^{3+}$ phosphors were fabricated with blue GaN LED and the chromaticity index of the phosphor-formulated GaN LED was investigated as a function of the wt% of the optimized phosphor.

Zinc sulfide is a well-known host material of phosphor emitting different radiations dependent on different doping impurities of metallic ion. It emits green, blue, orange-yellow or white colors by doping with activators such as copper, silver, manganese and so on. In this study, manganese, copper and chlorine doped ZnS phosphor (ZnS:Mn,Cu,Cl) was synthesized by solid-state reaction method. The optical properties were investigated according to different concentrations of sulfur and activators used during the synthesis process.

The treatment of 1,1-bis(phenylthio)-2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropylbenzene (1) with 2 equiv. of phenyllithium in THF at -78 ℃ resulted in the formation of isomeric mixture (70: 30) of trifluoromethylated 1,2-diphenylvinyl sulfide 2 in 87% yield. The further oxidation of 2 with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in methylene chloride afforded isomeric mixture (70:30) of trifluoromethylated 1,2-diphenylvinyl sulfone 3 in 87% yield. When 3 was reacted with carbon nucleophiles such as methyllithium, n-butyllithium, phenyllithium and lithium octylide, the corresponding addition-elimination adducts 4, 5, 6 and 7 were obtained in moderate to good yields. The reaction of 3 with 4 equiv. of tributyltin hydride in benzene at reflux temperature provided isomeric mixture (90 : 10) of trifluoromethylated 1,2-diphenylvinyl stannane 8 in 41% yield. The reaction of 8 with methyllithium in the presence of trimethylsilyl chloride gave isomeric mixtures (90: 10) of trifluoromethylated 1,2-diphenylvinyl silane 9 in 88% yield. Finally, the treatment of 8 with Br2 and 12 resulted in the formation of isomeric mixtures (90: 10) of trifluoromethylated 1,2-diphenylvinyl bromide 10 and iodide 11 in 72% and 90% yields, respectively.

A series of new pyridazinyl sulfoxides 3a~e and pyridazinyl sulfones 4a were synthesized for development of candidates to retain anticancer activity. The utility of sulfoxides and sulfones in both laboratory and industrial practice was quickly recognized, and these species have been extensively utilized, including as pharmaceutical intermediates and anticancer agents. Alkylthiopyridazines 2a~e were prepared from the 3,6-dichloropyridazine using allylthiolation with alkyl mercaptan. Sulfides could be oxidized to sulfoxides or sulfones using 1~3 equivalents of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. The oxidation of sulfoxides to sulfones was also accomplished with aqueous hydrogen peroxide. Formation of 3a~e and 4a was undertaken with stirring using 35% hydrogen peroxide at room temperature in acetic acid for 18~72 h. Synthetic compounds were identified using NMR spectrum.

A lithium-ion battery exhibits high energy density but has many limitations due to safety issues. Currently, as a solution for this, research on solid state batteries is attracting attention and is actively being conducted. Among the solid electrolytes, sulfide-based solid electrolytes are receiving much attention with high ion conductivity, but there is a limit to commercialization due to the relatively high price of lithium sulfide, which is a precursor material. This study focused on the possibility of relatively inexpensive and light lithium hydride and conducted an experiment on it. In order to analyze the characteristics of LiAlH₄, ion conductivity and thermal stability were measured, and a composites mixed with PVDF, a representative polymer electrolyte, was synthesized to confirm a change in characteristics. And metallurgical changes in the material were performed through XRD, SEM, and BET analysis, and ion conductivity and thermal stability were measured by EIS and LFA methods. As a result, Li₃AlH₆ having ion conductivity higher than LiAlH₄ is formed by the synthesis of composite materials, and thus ion conductivity is slightly improved, but thermal stability is rapidly degraded due to structural irregularity.

A series of $V_{2}O_{5}-TiO_2$ xerogel catalysts were prepared by nonhydrolytic sol-gel method and analysed by various characterization techniques. These catalysts showed much higher surface areas and total pore volumes than conventional V$V_{2}O_{5}-TiO_2$ xerogel and impregnated $V_{2}O_{5}/TiO_2$ catalysts. It was found that the textural property of $V_{2}O_{5}-TiO_2$ material varies with the method and conditions of synthesis. Surface vanadates and $TiO_2$ anatase phase are the crucial factors to obtain high catalytic activities. The selective oxidation of hydrogen sulfide in the presence of excess water and ammonia was studied over these catalysts. Xerogel catalysts prepared by non-hydrolytic sol-gel method showed very high conversion of $H_{2}S$ without harmful emission of $SO_2$. The highest catalytic activity shown by these $V_{2}O_{5}-TiO_2$ catalysts may be due to their high surface area and good dispersion of vanadia species in the titania matrix.

Autonomous ultradian metabolic oscillation (T$\simeq$50 min) was detected in an aerobic chemostat culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A pulse injection of GSH (a reduced form of glutathione) into the culture induced a perturbation in metabolic oscillation, with respiratory inhibition caused by $H_2S$ burst pro-duction. As the production of $H_2S$ in the culture was controlled by different amino acids, we attempted to characterize the effects of GSH on amino acid metabolism, particularly with regard to branched chain and sulfur-containing amino acids. During stable metabolic oscillation, concentrations of intra-cellular glutamate, aspartate, threonine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, and cysteine were observed to oscil-late with the same periods of dissolved $O_2$ oscillation, although the oscillation amplitudes and maximal phases were shown to differ. The methionine concentration was stably maintained at 0.05 mM. When GSH (100 $\mu$M) was injected into the culture, cellular levels of branched chain amino acids increased dramatically with continuous $H_2S$production, whereas the cysteine and methionine concentrations were noticeably reduced. These results indicate that GSH-dependent perturbation occurs as the result of the promotion of branched chain amino acid synthesis and an attenuation of cysteine and methionine synthesis, both of which activate the generation of $H_2S$. In a low sulfate medium containing 2.5 mM sulfate, the GSH injections did not result in perturbations of dissolved $O_2$ NAD(P)H redox oscillations without burst $H_2S$ production. This suggests that GSH-dependent perturbation is intimately linked with the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids and $H_2S$ generation, rather than with direct GSH-GSSG redox control.

[ $II-III_2-(S,Se)_4$ ] structured of phosphor has been used at various field because those have high luminescent efficiency and broad emission band. Among these phosphors, the europium doped $BaGa_2S_4$ was prepared by solid-state method and had high potential application due to an emissive property of UV region. Also, the common sulfide phosphors were synthesized by using injurious $H_2S\;or\;CS_2$ gas. However, in this study $BaGa_2S_4:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor in addition to excess sulfur was prepared under at 5% $H_2/95%\;N_2$ reduction atmosphere. Thus, this process could be considered as large scale synthesis because of non-harmfulness and simplification. The photoluminescence efficiency of the prepared $BaGa_2S_4:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor increased 20% than that of commercial $SrGa_2S_4:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor. The prepared $BaGa_2S_4:Eu^{2+}$ could be applied to green phosphor for white LED of three wavelengths.

We report hybrid solar cells fabricated with polymer/fullerene bulk heterojunction layers that contain inorganic nanocrystals synthesized by in-situ reaction in the presence of polymer chains. The inorganic (cadmium sulfide) nanocrystal ($CdS_{NC}$) was generated by the reaction of cadmium acetate and sulfur by varying the reaction time up to 30 min. The synthesized $CdS_{NC}$ showed a rectangular flake shape, while the size of $CdS_{NC}$ reached ca. 150 nm when the reaction time was 10 min. The performance of hybrid solar cells with $CdS_{NC}$ synthesized for 10 min was better than that of a control device, whereas poor performances were measured for other hybrid solar cells with $CdS_{NC}$ synthesized for more than 10 min.
