Abstract

Retraction of ‘Effect of Ca2+ doping on the upconversion luminescence properties of NaYF4:Yb3+/Tm3+ nanoparticles and study of its temperature measurement performance’ by Mingzhou Meng et al., CrystEngComm, 2022, 24, 4887–4898, https://doi.org/10.1039/D2CE00562J


The Royal Society of Chemistry, with the agreement of the authors, hereby wholly retracts this CrystEngComm article due to concerns with the reliability of the data.

Fig. 3a-c are identical to Fig. 3a-c of ref. 1. The authors originally requested a correction, however, as they have not been able to provide the raw data, they have requested to retract the article.

Given the significance of these concerns, the findings presented in this paper are no longer reliable.

Date: 28th July 2023.

Retraction endorsed by Sally Howells-Wyllie, Executive Editor, CrystEngComm.
