While various strategies have been explored to improve this process, most focus on single-sided modulation either the conduction-band electrons or valence-band holes, limiting overall improvement. Herein, an innovative coupling modification approach is adopted where Ru and \u03b1-Fe<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub> (FO) nanoparticles are integrated onto ZnIn<sub>2<\/sub>S<sub>4<\/sub> (ZIS) to prepare Ru\/ZnIn<sub>2<\/sub>S<sub>4<\/sub>\/\u03b1-Fe<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub>, and constructs dual charge transfer pathways for electrons and holes. This bidirectional channel configuration significantly enhances carrier separation and accumulation, enabling Ru as an electron (e<sup>-<\/sup>) mediator and FO as a hole (h<sup>+<\/sup>) extraction facilitator, driving simultaneous redox reactions, and enabling substantial improvement in the photocatalytic sulfur oxidation process coupled with hydrogen generation. This approach enhances interface charge separation\/spatial accumulation and provides valuable guidance for designing and developing advanced high-efficiency photocatalytic systems."],"CopyrightInformation":"Copyright \u00a9 2025 Elsevier Inc.
