Abstract
Retraction of ‘Determination of cadmium in rice using nanoparticle-enhanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy combined with film preparation’ by Jinming Niu et al., J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2020, 35, 2990–2996, DOI: 10.1039/D0JA00354A.
The authors, Jinming Niu, Jingqi Lu and Feng Xu, hereby wholly retract this Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry paper. It has come to our attention that there were experimental errors on the part of the first author. In Fig. 7, the effect of nano-enhancement is exaggerated, and in Fig. 8b, the data is over-modified, causing the experimental results and conclusions of the paper to be unreliable. As the findings of the paper are not reliable, we are therefore retracting this article to maintain the accuracy of the scientific record.
