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
This work presents the study on the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) and their photocatalytic and anticancer activity. ZnO NPs were synthesized by a simple precipitation method in the presence of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). Two different zinc precursors were used, namely, zinc acetate dihydrate and zinc nitrate hexahydrate, and sodium hydroxide was used as a precipitating agent. The synthesized samples were characterized by various techniques for invesgating their structural, optical, and morphological properties. Identical wurtzite hexagonal structure was confirmed for the samples from XRD pattern and the Raman spectroscopy. As determined by the HR-TEM analysis, the samples’ typical particle size is in the nanoscale. The optical band gap of ZnO NPs, as estimated from UV–VIS absorption spectra, is 2.607 eV for acetate precursor and 2.915 eV for nitrate precursor. The defect concentration in the samples has been probed using PL analysis. The photocatalytic activity of synthesized NPs was studied for organic dye (methylene blue — MB) in an aqueous medium and was compared to that of commercial photocatalyst TiO NPs. The potential of synthesized NPs as an anticancer agent was also investigated.
