Abstract
Expression of Concern for ‘Statistical optimization of photo-induced biofabrication of silver nanoparticles using the cell extract of Oscillatoria limnetica: insight on characterization and antioxidant potentiality’ by Rasha A. Abo-Elmagd et al., RSC Adv., 2020, 10, 44232–44246, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/D0RA08206F.
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 UV-vis absorption spectra in Fig. 1. An investigation is underway, and an expression of concern will continue to be associated with the article until a final outcome is reached.
