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
Antibacterial activity of functionalized ZnO nanoparticles synthesized from waste Zn–C battery by microwave method was investigated, water soluble 1-(carboxymethyl)-4-[(E)-2-(3-methoxy-4-methylphenyl)ethenyl] pyridin-1-ium photosensitizer was used as capping agent to control the size of nanoparticle. The characterization of the samples was done with the help of UV–visible spectroscopy, FTIR, SEM–EDS and XRD. The nanoparticles have hexagonal wurtzite structure with a mean diameter of 19.7 nm for 3% dye capped nanoparticle and 30.6 nm for uncapped nanoparticle and are composed by a mixture of small crystallites and disordered ZnO particles. Capped ZnO nanoparticles showed high antibacterial (tested on E. coli and B. subtilis) activities compared to that of uncapped nanoparticles under the same experimental conditions. This novel water soluble dye capped ZnO nanoparticles emerged as excellent antibacterial agent, the results show minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.39 and 1.56 for B. subtilis and E. coli and highest zone of inhibition was at concentration of 5 mg/ml. The bioactivity showed dye capped nanoparticle to be new class of antibacterial agent.
