Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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
Zn-doped CuO (CuZnO) nano-rods have been prepared by simple chemical solution method, using Cu(CHCOO)·5HO and NaOH as precursors. Prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). XRD results showed that grain size of the as-prepared samples increased while strain and dislocation density were found to decrease with the increase in Zn concentration. The absorption bands in FTIR spectra between the region 500–700 cm indicated the formation of CuZnO. The band gap measured from DRS exhibited an increasing trend (1.29–1.43 eV) with increasing Zn concentration. Absorption coefficient for reference sample was calculated to be 5.25 × 10 cm at 600 nm wavelength, and a decrease of 1.14 % was observed as the Zn concentration increased from 0 to 8 %. With maximum value of absorption coefficient and thermal absorptance in visible region, and its band gap energy close to that of an ideal material for photovoltaic conversion efficiency, suggests that CuZnO is potentially a good candidate for solar absorption.
