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
The structural transformation of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has been done by means of Zinc Aluminium layered double hydroxide (ZnAl-LDH), and a non-metal, i.e. boron impregnation to enhance its visible light absorption. Optical and morphological study intimates that an altered band assembly formed due to the impregnation, resulting in a shorten bandgap in conjunction with the development of an irregular hexagonally interrelated morphology. In addition, the impregnated g-C 3 N 4 (40% B-g-C 3 N 4 and 30%ZnAl-LDH/g-C 3 N 4 ) owns an expanded surface area of 14.3137, and 26.292 m 2 /g, which demonstrate 90.25, 86.31% degradation in phenol at 270 min illumination, with 700 mg/L of chemical oxidant concentration, and 5 L/h of flowrate, whereas under same conditions g-C 3 N 4 impart 62.38% degradation. We hope this study will open a new dimensions for the sustainable use of solar energy for environmental applications.
