Abstract

Retraction: L. Yang, Z. Zhao, J. Hu, H. Wang, J. Dong, X. Wan, Z. Cai, M. Li, “Copper Oxide Nanoparticles with Graphitic Carbon Nitride for Ultrasensitive Photoelectrochemical Aptasensor of Bisphenol A,” Electroanalysis 32, no. 7 (2020): 1651–1658. https://doi.org/10.1002/elan.201900638.

The above article, published online on 03 February 2020, in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Greg M. Swain; and Wiley-VCH GmbH. The authors submitted a report to the journal stating that the conclusions presented in the article could not be replicated with further experimentation and requesting a withdrawal of their article. Following the author‘s report, the publisher was informed by a third party of evidence of image manipulation in Figure 1A. In addition, a third party indicated that images in Figure 2 and Figure 3 had been reused and manipulated from a previous publication by different authors. The retraction has been agreed to because the evidence of image manipulation and duplication across different articles fundamentally compromises the journal‘s confidence in the data and conclusions presented in the article. The authors agree with retraction.
