Abstract
Gallate material, a luminescent matrix with excellent performance is normally prepared by vapor deposition or solid phase sintering method at high temperature. However, it has not been solved to prepare gallate-based fluorescent materials with full-color luminescent properties at low temperature. In this paper, ZnGa2O4 undoped or doped with Cr or Mn nanoflowers composed of nanosheet-level structure were prepared by hydrothermal method at low temperature. Under ultraviolet light irradiation, ZnGa2O4, ZnGa2O4:Mn2+ and ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ display three primary colors of blue, green and red luminescence through self-excitation, Mn2+ and Cr3+ excitation respectively. The solid fluorescence yields of blue, green, and red colors are 32.3, 36.5, and 40.7%, respectively. It is highly expected to be applied to color display, biological imaging, white light devices.

Abstract
Of late, atomically thin two-dimensional zinc-sulfide (2D-ZnS) shows great potential for advanced nanodevices and as a substitute to graphene and transition metal di-chalcogenides owing to its exceptional optical and electronic properties. However, the functional performance of nanodevices significantly depends on the effective heat management of the system. In this paper, we explored the thermal transport properties of 2D-ZnS through molecular dynamics simulations. The impact of length, temperature, and vacancy defects on the thermal properties of 2D-ZnS are systematically investigated. We found that the thermal conductivity (TC) rises monotonically with increasing sheet length, and the bulk TC of ∼30.67 W mK-1is explored for an infinite length ZnS. Beyond room temperature (300 K), the TC differs from the usual 1/Trule and displays an abnormal, slowly declining behavior. The point vacancy (PV) shows the largest decrease in TC compared to the bi vacancy (BV) defects. We calculated phonon modes for various lengths, temperatures, and vacancies to elucidate the TC variation. Conversely, quantum corrections are used to avoid phonon modes' icing effects on the TC at low temperatures. The obtained phonon density of states (PDOS) shows a softening and shrinking nature with increasing temperature, which is responsible for the anomaly in the TC at high temperatures. Owing to the increase of vacancy concentration, the PDOS peaks exhibit a decrease for both types of defects. Moreover, the variation of the specific heat capacity and entropy with BV and PV signify our findings of 2D-ZnS TC at diverse concentrations along with the different forms of vacancies. The results elucidated in this study will be a guide for efficient heat management of ZnS-based optoelectronic and nano-electronic devices.

Abstract
Metal xanthates are versatile single source precursors for the preparation of various metal sulfides. In this study, we present the synthesis of the two novel zinc xanthate complexes bis(O-2,2-dimethylpentan-3-yl-dithiocarbonato)(N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine)zinc(ii) and bis(O-2,2-dimethylpentan-3-yl-dithiocarbonato)(pyridine)zinc(ii). A thorough investigation of these compounds revealed distinct differences in their structural and thermal properties. While in the complex containing the chelating tetramethylethylenediamine, the xanthate groups coordinate in a monodentate way, they are bidentally coordinated to the zinc atom in the pyridine containing complex. Both compounds show a two-step thermal decomposition with an onset temperature of 151 °C and 156 °C for the tetramethylethylenediamine and pyridine containing complex, respectively. Moreover, different mechanisms are revealed for the two phases of the decomposition based on high resolution mass spectrometry investigations. By the thermal conversion process nanocrystalline zinc sulfide is produced and the coligand significantly influences its primary crystallite size, which is 4.4 nm using the tetramethylethylenediamine and 11.4 nm using the pyridine containing complex for samples prepared at a temperature of 400 °C.
