Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier policy on Article Correction, Retraction and Removal ( https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies-and-standards/article-withdrawal ). This article has been retracted at the request of the editor. Concern was raised regarding inaccuracies in XRD peaks in figure 1 c. Additionally, several instances of image duplication were identified in figure 4 panel B. Although the corresponding author addressed these concerns, they were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation. These errors undermine the scientific validity of the study. Consequently, the Editor has decided to retract the article.
