Abstract
Retraction for ‘Electrospun hybrid nanofibers of poly(vinylidene fluoride) and functionalized graphene oxide as a piezoelectric energy harvester’ by Pralay Maiti et al., Sustainable Energy Fuels, 2020, 4, 2469–2479, DOI: 10.1039/D0SE00033G.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this Sustainable Energy & Fuels article due to concerns with the reliability of the data in the published article.
Repeating sequences can be observed in the voltage–time graphs in Fig. 3b and 4a, and also in the ESI in Fig. S11, which suggests that they have been manipulated. An expert reviewed the author’s response but concluded that it did not satisfactorily address the concerns. Given the significance of the concerns about the validity of the data, the findings presented in this paper are no longer reliable.
Shivam Tiwari, Anupama Gaur, Chandan Kumar and Pralay Maiti oppose this retraction and state that the data published in this article is accurate.
