Constructing Ag decorated ZnS1-x quantum dots/Ta2O5-x nanospheres for boosted tetracycline removal: Synergetic effects of structural defects, S-scheme heterojunction, and plasmonic effects

[Display omitted] •Ag decorated S-scheme ZnS1-x QDs/Ta2O5-x composites were constructed.•Remarkably enhanced visible-light absorption and photocatalysis.•S-scheme heterostructures, structural defects, and plasmonic effects contribute to charge separation.•Suggested degradation pathways and mechanism...
