Abstract
Retraction of ‘Organic composite photocatalysts from g-C3N4 and a soluble dibenzothiophene-S,S′-dioxide-containing polymer for hydrogen evolution’ by Na Mao et al., New J. Chem., 2022, 46, 20395–20402, https://doi.org/10.1039/D2NJ03733E.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this New Journal of Chemistry article due to concerns with the reliability of the data.
The transient photocurrents of g-C3N4 and g-C3N4/PFSO-1 in Fig. 4c of this article are similar to Fig. 5c of ref. 33 and Fig. 6C of ref. 35 in the original article.
Parts of the high-resolution XPS spectra in Fig. 3 of this article are similar to Fig. 3 of another article, by the same author group, ref. 33 in the original article.
Given the significance of these concerns, the Editor has lost confidence that the findings presented in this paper are reliable.
