Retraction of: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-13692-2, published online 08 June 2022
The Editors have retracted this Article.
After publication, concerns were raised the validity of the XRD spectra presented in Figure 1, and the authorship and author contributions. The Editors requested the authors to provide raw original data and explanations regarding the contributions, but found the response provided by the Authors insufficient. The Authors were also not able to provide all of the original data with meta-data that would allow for the verification of its veracity. Additionally, references 18–68 appear to be unrelated to the research described in this Article. The Editors therefore no longer have confidence in the reliability of the data presented in this Article.
Merhdad Khatami does not agree to this retraction. Maryam Darvish, Navid Nasrabadi, Farnoush Fotovat, Setareh Khosravi, Samira Jamali, Elnaz Mousavi, Siavash Iravani and Abbas Rahdar have not responded to any correspondence from the Editor about this retraction.
