Ethylene glycol (EG) mediated SnS nanostructures were produced by means of hydrothermal protocol. Preliminary experimental studies confirmed orthorhombic phase SnS nanostructures and its metal oxygen vibrations. Samples interstitial tin (Sn) vacancies on electrochemical activity were discussed. Half cell configuration of electrochemical module was attempted for investigating electrodes electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity. Higheroxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity of SnS@5 ml EG was reported fromlinear sweep voltammetry (LSV) current density as 288 mA/g and also reported lower overpotential of 254 mV. Excellent current density of 81 % retention was achieved for same candidate and is strongly recommended for future energy conversion applications.
