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
Tremendous efforts have been devoted for the development of rationally designed titanium dioxide (TiO) nanostructures, because structural characteristics such as morphology, porosity, size, and crystal phase significantly affect the physical properties of TiO. Despite the significant advances made in synthesis strategies over the past few decades, designing an innovative TiO nanostructure that overcomes the limitations that TiO encounters in various applications remains a great challenge. In this study, we demonstrate the synthesis of a hierarchically nanostructured TiO having a higher symmetry (hexagonal structure) than its own constituent tectons. Anatase TiO possesses only a primitive tetragonal unit cell, and there is no hexagonal symmetry axis. Thus, a hexagonal TiO superstructure is hardly obtainable without the multiple twinning of primitive units, which rarely occurs under conventional reaction conditions. Our exotic TiO nanostructure is synthesized by the calcination of a novel TiO precursor that is formed by a simple precipitation reaction and is utilized as an electrode material in energy conversion and storage devices. Due to the unique physical properties offered by this morphology, nanoporous hexagonal TiO is superior to conventionally used TiO in these applications, highlighting the benefits as an advanced, multifunctional electrode material.
