Abstract
Retraction of ‘Mechanistic insights into the decontamination of Th(IV) on graphene oxide-based composites by EXAFS and modeling techniques’ by Yubing Sun et al., Environ. Sci.: Nano, 2017, 4, 222–232.
The Royal Society of Chemistry, with the agreement of the named authors, hereby wholly retracts this Environmental Science: Nano article due to concerns with the reliability of the data in the published article.
There are unexpected similarities in the baselines of the two XPS spectra presented in Fig. 4D, which indicate that data has been duplicated to represent different materials.
Given the significance of the concerns about the validity of the data, the findings presented in this paper are no longer reliable.
