Metal oxide nanoarchitectures have a wide range of qualities that can be used to produce novel technologies in the field of renewable energy, such as energy conversion solar fuels and storage via the photovoltaic effect, and electrochemical water splitting. The approach for the synthesis of earth abundant metal oxide nanostructures is facile and cost effective and involves scalable methodologies for the development of functional devices. The composite material exhibits enhanced active edge sites for the potential HER. The electrochemical experiments revealed satisfactory results of electrocatalytic gas production HER. The composite sample produces a current density at 10 mAcm−2 an over potential of 345 mV and Tafel value of 60 mVdec−1 it exhibits at which predominantly ensures the swift charge transfer kinetics during HER. The sample 3 remains durable and stable for 30 hours. EIS shown value of 21.88 Ohms as charge transfer resistance which further strengthened HER and Tafel results. The sample 3 exhibits a 4.69 µFcm−2 capacitance double layer and surface area of 177.25 cm2 it further supports the unique productivity for HER activity. The small Tafel slope which relatively close to Pt shows a clear and high potential of as prepared MoS2/Graphite nanosheets composite material for the replacement of noble metals in the field of renewable energy. The tiny Tafel slope value suggests that the efficient hydrogen evolution reaction has a lot of promise. This developed method provides the alternative method for the development of other materials for the energy harvesting applications.

Raising number of vehicles emits pollutants responsible for one third of total air pollution. Carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are the main pollutants from petrol engines. It requires stringent vehicular emission norms to be followed for controlling it. Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWCC) contain Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) as catalyst to reduce exhaust emission and is widely used method that fulfills these standards. Because of high cost of PGMs and considerable advancement in metal oxide preparatory methods, metal oxide catalysts have gained more attraction. Manganese oxide (MnOx) and Cobalt Oxide (CoOx) have displayed impressive redox reactions at lower temperature. MnOx seems to be a suitable contender of Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC) and Cobalt oxide (CoOx) has displayed an excellent catalytic activity for HC and CO oxidation. Hence, these catalysts attract the attention of researchers. Present paper assesses the prospect of MnOx and CoOx as catalysts for the TWCC for redox reactions of CO, HC and NOx and also in terms of OSC and T50 temperature. It is found that CoOx and MnOx both low cost metal oxide catalysts stand a good chance to replace the noble metals for TWCC.
