Abstract
Expression of Concern for ‘Solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells based on Zn1−xSnxO nanocomposite photoanodes’ by Ayat Nasr El-Shazly et al., RSC Adv., 2018,8, 24059–24067, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/c8ra02852d.
The Royal Society of Chemistry is publishing this expression of concern in order to alert readers that concerns have been raised regarding the reliability of the IPCE data in Fig. 6b, the Nyquist data in Fig. 6c, the EDX data in Fig. S1c and the XPS data in Fig. S2. An investigation is underway, and an Expression of Concern will continue to be associated with the article until a final outcome is reached.
