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.

Review Description
Recently, core–shell structured titania (CS TiO 2 ) nanomaterials has garnered enormous research interest due to its improved visible light absorption capability and performance for various applications. While CS TiO 2 nanomaterials have shown satisfactory performance in other applications, its solar light photocatalytic performance is still far from excellent for environmental pollutants removal. This might be due to the poor understanding of mismatch between the various structural properties of CS TiO 2 and the contaminant we target for or scarcity of information about the atomic, nanocrystalline and electronic structure of CS TiO 2 and its correlation with photocatalytic performance. The present review provides an in-depth understanding of property–performance relationship, specifically for the removal of organic pollutants from environmental media, which will help further understand and optimize the photocatalytic properties of CS TiO 2 for enhancing its solar driven photocatalytic activity. The formation mechanism, structural properties, and photocatalytic performance of CS TiO 2 for environmental pollutants removal were reviewed, and it is established that an inclusive strategy is needed to address the key challenges in designing CS TiO 2 for environmental pollutants removal. The key challenges are the management of the location and concentration of defects states, optimization of surface to bulk defects ratio, and controlling the thickness of the shell. Conclusive prospective research needs for tuning the nanocrystalline structure and associated properties of CS TiO 2 are suggested accordingly.
