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
Silver sulfate (Ag 2 SO 4 ) was successfully deposited on ZnO via a simple impregnation method. The as-synthesized sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activities of pure ZnO and 10 wt% Ag 2 SO 4 /ZnO were evaluated for the removal of indigo carmine and phenol under outdoor light irradiation. The results showed that the photocatalytic activity of Ag 2 SO 4 /ZnO was higher than those of pure ZnO and commercial TiO 2 for both pollutants removal. Identification of intermediate products and radical scavengers test were also carried out. The effects of process variables such as initial pollutants concentration and solution pH toward the photocatalytic degradation efficiency were also investigated. The optimum initial pollutants concentration was found to be 10 mg/L for both pollutants. The photo removal of indigo carmine was favorable at pH 7 while in the case of phenol, maximum degradation rate was observed at pH 5. The excellent photocatalytic property of Ag 2 SO 4 -deposited ZnO suggested its potential usage for practical applications in wastewater remediation.
