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
This study reports a simple environmentally benign biosynthetic route for the production of copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) using aqueous extract of Aloe vera leaves. The morphology, size, composition and crystallinity of the prepared NPs were investigated by TEM and XRD analyses. The prepared Cu NPs were found to be spherical in shape with an average diameter of 45–62 nm. The Cu NPs showed surface plasmon resonance (SPR) property at 590 nm. EDX studies showed the existence of elemental copper in Cu NPs. The phytochemicals, such as flavones and proteins in leave extracts, acts as a reducing and stabilizing agent. A total of 93 and 96% of Methyl Violet 6B and Methylene Blue dye were degraded using Cu NPs (as a catalyst) within 150 and 135 min, respectively.
