In the original publication [1], the reference 45 has been retracted. The authors want to replace it with the following text, citation and reference:
The current phrase in our article: “Tesfaye et al. mention that active components such as flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, tannins, and plant phenolics can reduce metal salts into stable NPs [45]” must be replaced for: “A recent and noteworthy review on the green synthesis of nanoparticles highlights the key role of active components—such as flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, tannins, and plant phenolics—in reducing metal salts to stable nanoparticles [45].” Considering a new reference 45:
