Herein, core double-shell direct dual Z-scheme ZnO-CeS-MnO nanocomposite was synthesized via a hydrothermal route along with pure ZnO, CeS, MnO, and characterized by numerous characterization tools for application in synthetic dyes degradation. The XRD, Raman, and FTIR analyses have confirmed the nanocomposite formation. TEM images exhibited the core double-shell morphology with an average particle diameter of 81 nm and stacking of ZnO, CeS, and MnO.

Herein, a novel BiS-covered SmO (BiS-SmO) nanocomposite electrocatalyst was developed by a hydrothermal route for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The electrochemical properties were studied in 1.
