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 study is one such study where an eco-friendly approach has been followed in biosynthesizing TiO 2 NPs from Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom extract. Therefore, we object to biosynthesizing TiO 2 NPs and characterize them morphologically using UV, XRD, FTIR, FESEM, EDX, HR-TEM, AFM, and GCMS. The UV–visible spectroscopy absorption of synthesized TiO 2 NPs has peaked at 335 nm. The antibacterial activity was investigated by both isolated bacteria pathogens (gram-positive and gram-negative). The maximum growth inhibition zone was noted in S. mutans (14.3 ± 0.4), E. coli (14.1 ± 0.3), and S. epidermidis (13.3 ± 0.2). The in vitro cytotoxicity assay of TiO 2 NPs showed an IC 50 value of 47.42 µg/mL against MG-63 cancer cells. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue by TiO 2 NPs was investigated under UV–visible light irradiation. Due to the NPs tiny size and high dispersion, a rapid degradation (between 30 and 180 min) of almost 84.24% was accomplished. Even after the photocatalyst was used three times, there was no discernible difference in the TiO 2 NPs photocatalytic activity. The synthesized TiO 2 NPs successfully destroyed the Methylene Blue (MB) dye in an aqueous solution, promising wastewater dye remediation. Therefore, our research shows for the first time that biosynthesis of TiO 2 NPs using P. ostreatus extract can be an excellent outcome for emerging multipurpose and organic products.
