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 direct discharge of copper containing wastewater into the water body not only causes serious harm to the ecological environment, but also results in copper resource wastage. A green approach was successfully developed to prepare CuO nanosheets (NSs) from simulated Cu(ii) waste effluents by alkaline H O reaction. The FTIR, EXAFS and XPS results revealed that peroxide group exists on the surface of the as-prepared CuO nanosheets, and the formation mechanism of copper peroxide has been proposed. Assisted by visible light irradiation, the CuO NS as a recyclable Fenton-like catalyst achieved complete degradation of phenol within 40 min. Moreover, the copper ions leached during the Fenton-like process were recycled via alkaline H O reaction and their concentration in the solution reduced to below 1 mg L , therefore realizing a copper life cycle and Fenton-like degradation of organic pollutants.
