Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The synthesis of ZnO with tailorable shapes and point defects is important for its potential applications. Here, a facile approach is demonstrated to prepare ZnO nanocages with controllable porous shell structures though sintering a Zn-based cyanide-bridged coordination polymer under different temperatures. The transformation of ZnCP microspheres into ZnO nanocages is based on two types of nanoscale Kirkendall effect, which are related to low temperature solid-solid interfacial oxidation and high temperature solid-gas interfacial reaction, respectively. At low temperature (around 300 C) and before the ZnCP decomposition, the novel "hierarchical ZnO bigger nanocages embedded with smaller nanocages with 10 nm nanocrystals" can be generated. By contrast, when coming to the total decomposition of ZnCP at 800 C, ZnO nanocages with significantly increased sizes and large cavities are generated, and large amounts of oxygen vacancies (V) are created at the same time, leading to the dramatic increased luminescence intensities of the UV peak due to V at 540 nm. Thus, the luminescence intensities versus defect concentration in the prepared ZnO nanocages can also be controlled by tuning the sintering temperatures. Uniform ZnO nanocages with porous shell structures can easily be prepared by oxidative decomposition of a metal-cyanide-bridged hybrid coordination polymer. The resulting ZnO nanostructres gradually form into nanocages based on the nanoscale Kirkendall effect and Ostwald ripening, involving non-equilibrium interdiffusion, volume loss, and the formation of voids inside.
