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.

Conference Paper Description
This study reports on the green synthesis of titanium and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) using lemon juice and peel extract, zinc acetate, ethylene glycol, and titanium IV isopropoxide as precursors. The prepared TiO2 and ZnO-NPs were characterized via X-ray Diffraction analysis, UV-vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, and EDAX. The as-prepared samples, TiO2 and ZnO-NPs, were further subjected for the photocatalytic degradation of estrogenic hormones (Estrone, Estradiol, Ethinylestradiol, and Estriol) under UV light irradiation at 365 nm, which resulted in promising photocatalytic activity. All four hormones were significantly degraded owing to the photocatalytic activity combined with a slight contribution (4-11 %) from the hormonal adsorption onto the surface of the photocatalysts. Overall hormonal degradation rates in the range of 84-93 % and approximately 99 % were achieved in 60 minutes under UV light irradiation by ZnO and TiO2, respectively.
