What element is used in self luminous paint?

Radium self luminescent paint hasn't been used in decades since the hazards of it's ionising radiation became widely known. Modern technology of self luminescent paint seems to be based on tritium gas in a similar concept to tritium glow sticks but instead contained within micro particles. These micro particles can be painted on or made in to solid plastic. It is self luminous for 20+ years with a 12 year half-life. The company MPK who invented it calls the technology Litrospheres and also has plans for using it to self power solar panels as an energy source. At the present time this self luminescent paint, plastic or energy source technology has not been made available to the public.

Why is hydrogen sulfide used to restore the color of old paintings?

Hydrogen sulphide is a toxic gas; also dangerous for paintings containing lead colours and for objects made from silver. You think probably to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), used for restoring.. Lead (II) trioxocarbonate (IV) in white Lead (II) paint is converted to lead (II) Sulphide by atmospheric Hydrogen Sulphide. This reaction darkens the colour of the Paint. Hydrogen Peroxide is added to the Paint to restore the colour where it oxidizes the Lead (II) Sulphide to Lead (II) tetraoxosulphate (VI).
