However, conventional photocatalysts are hindered by rapid charge recombination, limited redox capability, and inefficient interfacial charge transfer, while traditional heterojunctions struggle to simultaneously deliver strong oxidation and reduction potentials. Herein, a nature-inspired all-solid-state, plasmon-assisted interface-engineered Z-scheme photocatalyst comprising ZnO\/ZnS core\u2013shell nanorods (NRs) on an Ag seed layer is reported to address the limitations of conventional photocatalyst. The metallic Ag seed layer acts as a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) platform, facilitating electron injection into the ZnO NRs core and suppressing photogenerated charge recombination. A controlled ZnS shell thickness (\u223c20 nm, obtained by 1.5 h sulfidation) optimizes interfacial charge transfer, promotes selective recombination of low-energy carriers, and maximizes solid-state Z-scheme efficiency. Trapping experiments indicate that \u2022O2\u2013 and \u2022OH are the dominant reactive species, enabling efficient degradation of methylene blue and tetracycline and reduction of Cr (VI) under UV irradiation. This work provides a rational interfacial engineering strategy for developing high-performance all-solid-state Z-scheme photocatalysts for environmental remediation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsomega.6c08853","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,30]],"date-time":"2026-09-30T17:02:12Z","timestamp":1790787732000},"page":"62243-62259","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["All-Solid-State\nPlasmon-Assisted Interfacial Engineered\nAg-Seeded ZnO\/ZnS Core\u2013Shell Nanorods for Z-Scheme Photocatalysis"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-1265-1328","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Elius","family":"Hossain","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Soonchunhyang University , , Soonchunhyang-ro , , ,","place":["Asan City, Chungnam, South Korea, 31538"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7041-5656","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kye-Si","family":"Kwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Soonchunhyang University , , Soonchunhyang-ro , , ,","place":["Asan City, Chungnam, South Korea, 31538"]},{"name":"Soonchunhyang University , , Soonchunhyang-ro , , ,","place":["Asan City, Chungnam, South Korea, 31538"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"2026101315074157700_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3641","DOI":"10.1021\/jacs.4c15540","article-title":"Unlocking the Key to\nPhotocatalytic Hydrogen Production Using Electronic Mediators for\nZ-Scheme Water Splitting","volume":"147","author":"Shi","year":"2025","journal-title":"J.
