Natural or artificial Z-scheme systems have been applied for tackling environment pollution and energy crisis owing to the high reduction and oxidation ability driven by the unique interface charge-pairs transfer. However, a dual Z-scheme system combining direct Z-scheme and indirect Z-scheme is sel...
