Abstract
Retraction of ‘Improved H2O2 photogeneration and stability on rational tailored polymeric carbon nitride via enhanced O2 adsorption’ by Zehao Li et al., J. Mater. Chem. A, 2022, 10, 15051–15061, https://doi.org/10.1039/D2TA03580D.
We, the named authors, hereby wholly retract this Journal of Materials Chemistry A article. This article reports a Rb+-modified PCN photocatalyst (CNR-0.5) for highly-efficient H2O2 production. Recently, when we repeated the photocatalytic decomposition of H2O2 for CN and CNR-0.5 under LED white light, we were unable to reproduce the results in the article. By testing the retained solution from previous experiments published in the article, it was found that the solution contained other ions, which may have led to wrong results in the paper. We further looked into this and noticed that the water purifier was faulty which led to the presence of additional ions in the reaction solution. We, as the authors of this Journal of Materials Chemistry A article, wish to retract this article.
