Abstract
Retraction of ‘The structural and luminescence properties of plexcitonic structures based on Ag2S/l-Cys quantum dots and Au nanorods’ by Irina G. Grevtseva et al., RSC Adv., 2022, 12, 6525–6532, https://doi.org/10.1039/D1RA08806H.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this RSC Advances article due to concerns with the reliability of the data.
There is a significant amount of overlap of text and images between this article and another published by the same authors.1 In addition, there is evidence of image manipulation in Fig. 2d and d′.
Given the significance of these concerns, the Editor has lost confidence that the findings presented in this paper are reliable.
The authors† were informed about the retraction of the article, and Irina Grevtseva informed us that all authors agreed to the retraction, but we have not heard from the remaining authors directly.
Signed: Irina Grevtseva on behalf of all authors
Date: 23rd September 2025
Retraction endorsed by Laura Fisher, Executive Editor, RSC Advances
