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
Photocatalytic water splitting is considered as one of the most promising technologies for hydrogen production. A novel 2D/2D/2D ZnCo2O4/g-C3N4/Ti3C2 (ZCO/CN/TiC) nanocomposite was synthesized through a facile thermal method for efficient photocatalytic H2 production under visible light. This multi-heterojunction system displayed an efficient performance with higher H2 production rates compared to single catalysts. The experimental results revealed a hydrogen production rate of 1465 µmol g-1 for the ZCO/CN/TiC ternary composite after 4 h of light irradiation which is about 3.8 and 2.5 times higher than that of g-C3N4 and g-C3N4/Ti3C2, respectively. This significant enhancement is mainly attributed to the efficient charge transfer within the constructed heterojunction system and due to the presence of MXene (Ti3C2) which acted as a solid electron mediator to suppress the charges recombination rate. Both of type and amount of used sacrificial agent has exhibited a significant effect on the H2 production rate. The ZCO/CN/TiC ternary nanocomposite has also displayed the best quantum yield (QY=1.316). The newly developed structured photocatalyst would provide a promising approach for the construction of easy-prepared and noble-metal-free photocatalysts for the application of clean and sustainable fuels production
