Cover Story: In this study, the proposed photocatalytic amplification mechanism is founded on the synergistic effect of the slow photon effect and Z-scheme charge transfer, which is optimized by the optimal content of Ag in ZnIn2S4 quantum dots (QDs) integrated with inverse opal (IO) TiO2. This configuration enables efficient charge transfer from the Type-II heterojunction to the Z-scheme type, enhancing photocatalytic performance through regulation of the alignment of energy bands between ZnIn2S4 QDs and IO-TiO2. Notably, in Tetracycline (TC) photo-degradation, the Ag (2.0): ZnIn2S4 QDs/IO-TiO2 composite exhibits outstanding performance under 300 W Xe lamp irradiation. View this paper
