The Editors have retracted this Article.
After publication, concerns were raised about the data presented in this study. Specifically, repeating fragments are observed in the background of a graph depicting XRD pattern in Figure 4. Concerns were also raised regarding the shape of the UV-VIS spectroscopy graph in Figure 2. Additionally, the SEM image presented in Figure 6 appears highly similar to Figure 4 from1, where it depicts different conditions.
The Authors could not provide all of the necessary raw data to verify the veracity of the results.
