Abstract
Expression of concern for ‘Synthesis and characterization of a new ZIF-67@MgAl2O4 nanocomposite and its adsorption behaviour’ by Mehdi Davoodi et al., RSC Adv., 2021, 11, 13245–13255, https://doi.org/10.1039/D1RA01056E
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 SEM data in Fig. S1b and d. An investigation is underway, and an Expression of concern will continue to be associated with the article until a final outcome is reached.
