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
In the present study, we report the synthesis of photoactive bismuth oxycarbonate (BOC, Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 ) grafted NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) supported on g-C 3 N 4 (15 wt% of g-C 3 N 4 ) by coprecipitation method. The band gap of this photoactive material is determined to be 1.7 eV. The Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 agglomerates are anchored on NiFe-LDH plates and g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets intercalated between the LDH plates. This architecture helps in expediting electron transfer for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. The pristine NiFe-LDH photoanode acquires bifunctional character because of Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 agglomerates and g-C 3 N 4 embedded in the architecture of BOC/NiFe-LDH@g-C 3 N 4. This is found to be an efficient photoanode for oxygen evolution and photocathode for hydrogen evolution reactions. The water splitting process occurs along the heterojunction formed between g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets and Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 grafted NiFe-LDH. Further, an additional interfacial charge transfer aided by Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 results in S -scheme mechanism, which enhances the rate of photoelectrochemical hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions.
