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
In(OH)/InOOH nanocrystals are synthesized using InCl∙4HO as the indium source in the presence of ethylenediamine by a one-step hydrothermal process, and the effect of synthesis temperature on the morphology, crystallization, structure, and photocatalytic properties of the photocatalysts is investigated. The results show that all the synthesized In(OH)/InOOH samples have granular nanoparticles with a size of 20–30 nm. When the synthesis temperature is lower than 150°C, only the In(OH) phase exists. With increasing synthesis temperature, In(OH) gradually dehydrates to form InOOH to achieve a phase equilibrium between InOOH and In(OH). The concentration of InOOH is the maximum at 180°C and decreases at 210°C. The photocatalytic activity is evaluated from the degradation of a Rhodamine B solution under ultraviolet light irradiation, which follows the first-order reaction kinetics. The increase in synthesis temperature can significantly improve the photocatalytic performance of In(OH)/InOOH because of the formation of a large number of natural heterojunctions in the nanocrystals, which can enhance ultraviolet light absorption and facilitate charge transfer and separation. The first-order kinetic constant of the nanocrystals synthesized at 180°C is almost 2.5 times that of the nanocrystals synthesized at 150°C. The active species capture experiments demonstrate that holes and superoxide radicals are the main active species in the photocatalytic systems.
