Article Abstract
Background: More than 25% of 99mTc colloidal rhenium sulphide preparations have been reported to have a radiochemical purity of <95% in 11 radiopharmacies.
Objectives: To identify the key parameters involved in radiochemical purity, different preparation procedures were analysed to develop an optimised preparation method.
Methods: In the first part of this study, various data such as the Nanocis kit batch number, the eluate volume, the time between the two final elutions, the temperature and duration of heating were collected and analysed to determine the critical parameters that significantly decrease radiochemical purity. In the second part, a new procedure was applied and then the same parameters and radiochemical purity values were collected and compared with the results before the new procedure.
Results: Among 184 preparations, 137 (75%) had a radiochemical purity exceeding 95%, 25 (13.6%) were between 90 and 95% pure and 22 (12%) were below 90%. Significantly higher radiochemical purity was observed after the implementation of the new preparation procedure (89.5% of 374 preparations had radiochemical purities of > 95%). This new procedure consists in lowering the 99mTc eluate volume and time of heating.
Conclusions: The implementation of a new method for the preparation of (99m)Tc colloidal rhenium sulphide based on a comparison of practices in various radiopharmacies resulted in: i) a determination of the critical points of this preparation, ii) an optimised labelling technique to harmonise different practices, and iii) a significant improvement in the preparations radiochemical purity and the quality of the lymphoscintigraphy in the location of sentinel node.

Achieving high mobility while minimizing off-current and static power consumption is critical for applications of two-dimensional field-effect transistors. Herein, a selenium (Se) sacrificial layer is introduced between the rhenium sulfide (ReS) semiconductor and source/drain electrode. With the Se layer and postannealing process, the ReS transistor significantly decreases the off-state current with a substantial increase in the on-state current density.

Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on rhenium sulfide clusters, which are crucial for oil refining, as only a few have been previously studied under laser desorption-ionization conditions.
- Natural rhenium sulfide samples from a volcanic area in Russia were analyzed using laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry to identify and characterize these clusters.
- The study found over 60 rhenium sulfide clusters, including heterometallic types, and revealed new insights into the stability and formation patterns of these clusters, highlighting clusters with 7 to 10 rhenium atoms.

This Article describes the method of isotopic distribution brute force, which can be used to identify ions registered in mass spectra of inorganic compounds in an automated manner when a library search cannot be conducted. A detailed description of the isotopic distribution brute force methodology is presented, including a discussion of computation-related difficulties. The ability of the proposed algorithm to identify various inorganic ions is tested on a small set of real-life low-resolution mass spectra of lead halides and copper halides.

Article Synopsis
- Rhenium sulfide (ReS) is a promising 2D material with excellent visible light absorption, making it suitable for optoelectronic applications, and this study focuses on enhancing its efficiency by creating a semiconductor heterostructure with ZnO on vacancy-containing ReS (V-ReS).
- The study highlights how the intentionally designed electric field within this heterostructure reduces the recombination of charge carriers, leading to better charge separation and transfer due to a strong Zn-S bond formed at the interface.
- Experimental techniques like femtosecond Z-scan and transient absorption measurements reveal that this Zn-S bond significantly improves the nonlinear optical properties and photoluminescence of the V-ReS@ZnO heter
