RETRACTED: Syngas production from methane dry reforming over SmCoO3 perovskite catalyst: Kinetics and mechanistic studies

Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief as it appears that the integrity of the peer-review process can no longer be guaranteed. In addition, several figures are similar with figures from previous articles of the same authors, which were not cited by this article. Figure 1 is similar with Figure 1 of Reference [1]. Figure 2a is similar with Figure 3a of Reference [1] and Figure 2 of Reference [4]. Figure 2b is similar Figure 3b of Reference [1]. Figure 3 is similar with Figure 4 of Reference [1] and Figure 1b of Reference [2]. Figure 5 is similar with Figure 1a of Reference [2] and Figure 3 of Reference [3]. Figure 6a is similar with Figure 7a of Reference [1], Figure 2a of Reference [3] and Figure 4 of Reference [4]. Figure 6b is similar with Figure 7b of reference [1]. Figure 7 is similar with Figure 4 of Reference [2]. Figure 14 is similar with Figure 16 of Reference [1] and Figure 2 of reference [2]. Apologies are offered to the readers of the journal that this was not detected before the publication of the article.
