	abstract = {<p>Aligned ZnO films of nanorods arrays were grown on Indium doped Tin oxide (ITO) glass substrate for the Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) applications. Two-step approach was employed for the deposition, which offers advantages such as excellent surface adhesion, large area deposition, high reproducibility and yield. Structural characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows a preferred c-axis (002) oriented growth. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images reveals uniformly distributed hexagonal ZnO nanorods with average diameter varying from 80 to 250 nm. Average growth rate of the films was estimated using Surface Profilometer which was found to be similar to 1 mu m/h. Optical characterizations were carried out using Photo-spectrometer and Raman spectroscopy. The DSSCs using these ZnO films of nanorods array as photo-electrodes show conversion efficiency ranging from 0.24 to -0.71 \%, the maximum efficiency was obtained for films deposited for time duration 8 h.

	Designing novel, efficient and cost-effective dual-functional electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) using an alkaline electrolyte is crucial for establishing a sustainable hydrogen economy and transitioning to a society powered by renewable energy sources. In the present work, Mo-doped nickel sulfide (Mo-Ni3S2) nanorods were grown on Ni-treated nickel foam (N-NF) substrate via a two-steps hydrothermal method. Specifically, Mo-Ni3S2/N-NF surface consists of nanorods-like morphology, which provides extensive area for percolation of electrolyte, that resulting in outstanding catalytic performance. Such a well-synthesized electrode exhibited superior performance and stability for OER as compared with pristine Ni3S2/NF and bare nickel foam (NF) electrodes. In addition, Mo-Ni3S2/N-NF electrode provides good HER activity and confirms its dual-functionality in alkaline medium. Our champion Mo-Ni3S2/N-NF electrocatalyst delivers best OER overpotential of 230 mV at current density of 100 mA/cm(2). Also, it provides HER overpotential of 100.6 mV at a current density of 10 mA/cm(2). Both OER and HER are carried out in the presence of 1 M KOH alkaline electrolyte. OER stability of the best-performed Mo-Ni3S2/N-NF electrode demonstrates almost constant current density similar to 120 mA/cm(2), which retains 90\% of original value after continuously tested for the duration of 22 h. The total cell voltage of 1.56 V is provided by Mo-Ni3S2/N-NF integrated system and it demonstrates a good stability for duration of 22 h. Our approach provides a new insight into developing earth-abundant, inexpensive and superior dual-functional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting reaction (WSR).</p>
