The journal Crystals retracts the article titled, “The Effect of Treatment Temperature on Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior of a Fine-Grained YSZ–NiO(Ni) Anode Material” [1], cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding a redundancy between this publication [1] and an earlier article [2] produced by a common author.
Adhering to our complaints procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board which confirmed a significant redundancy between these publications [1,2], without the appropriate acknowledgement, citation, or permission.
As a result, the Editorial Board has decided to retract this article as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30).
