Retraction of “Efficient Photocatalytic Dye Degradation and Bacterial Inactivation by Graphitic Carbon Nitride and Starch-Doped Magnesium Hydroxide Nanostructures”

The Editor retracts “Efficient Photocatalytic Dye Degra dation and Bacterial Inactivation by Graphitic Carbon Nitride and Starch-Doped Magnesium Hydroxide Nanostructures” (DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c04650) due to a pattern of inappropriate image reuse, irregularities in the data and analysis presented, and concerns relating to the accountability for the research. This pattern of issues across several related articles calls into question the reliability of all of the following publications, DOIs: 10.1021/acsomega.2c02790, 10.1021/acsomega.2c04650, 10.1021/acsomega.2c00583, 10.1021/acsomega.1c03723, 10.1021/acsomega.2c00240, and 10.1021/acsomega.2c05625. In this article, Figure 2C, an SAED pattern of Mg(OH)2, is duplicated from Figure 2C of 10.1007/s13204 022-02504-8, which reports a different material (MgO). The original article was published on October 24, 2022 and was retracted on November 24, 2025.
