Ozone has a very short life in water, a few minutes at room temp. Oxygen (O2) is neutral and is unlikely to be attracted to SC. Silver ions do not have the energy to pull O2 apart, and besides, the half life of the O- radical is milliseconds, and is more likely to pull another electron from the silver ion, if it could not find a more willing doner of electrons (which it will). Bubbling Ozone through CS would, I suspect enhance the CS do some degree, if only by the formation of H2O2, which becomes stable in the presence of silver ions.
