Abstract
Retraction of “A novel concept and design for highly efficient photoelectrocatalytic materials with high performance, stability, and charge transport properties: development of an innovative next-generation green technology” by Abdul Qayoom Mugheri et al., RSC Adv., 2024, 14, 1581–1592, https://doi.org/10.1039/D3RA05126A.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this RSC Advances article due to concerns with the authenticity of the data.
Concerns were raised that the data in the figures had been taken from another paper,1 the text had been re-written slightly and the names of the materials employed were changed. The authors provided raw data, but an independent expert concluded that it is not genuine.
Given the significance of these concerns, the findings presented in this paper are no longer reliable.
The authors do not agree with the decision to retract the article.
