The journal retracts the article, “Experimental Study of CO₂ Conversion into Methanol by Synthesized Photocatalyst (ZnFe₂O₄/TiO₂) Using Visible Light as an Energy Source” [1] cited above.

Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the editorial office by the co-authors regarding overlap with a thesis which was subsequently published [2].

Adhering to our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted that confirmed the overlap.

This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Catalysts.

All authors except the first author agreed to the retraction.
