1 Retraction to: Catalysis Letters (2018) 148:2848–2855 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10562-018-2472-7

The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article at the request of the corresponding author. Concerns were raised regarding some figures, specifically:

  • Fig. 1a: the FT-IR spectrum for GO-ZnO-SO3H appears to be highly similar to the FT-IR spectrum for GO-CuO-SO3H in the same figure, particularly in the spectral noise.

  • Fig. 1b: the FT-IR spectrum for GO-ZnO-SO3H appears to be highly similar to the FT-IR spectrum for GO-CuO-SO3H in the same figure, particularly in the spectral noise.

  • Fig. 4 shows a number of irregularities.

Prem Felix Siril and Tripti Vats agree to this retraction. Reena D. Souza and Amit Chattree have not responded to correspondence regarding this retraction.
