Retracted - no date or separate Retraction Note yet.
This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Concern has been raised about adding co-authors at revision stage without the permission of the editor, nor the explicit permission of the original co-authors. The names of the authors Danial Sedghiyan, Arezoo Ashouri and Negin Maftouni were added to the revised version of the article, while the Authors of the original submission were Esmaeil Rezaei (originally listed as first Author; subsequently only as contributing Data Curation), Qingang Xiong and Sadegh Sadeghi.
The problems with the identity and the contribution of the authors to the article cast doubt on the data, and accordingly also the conclusions based on that data, in this publication. Changing authors after submission without permission from the Editor is against the journal policy as it is stated in the Guide for Authors (https://www.elsevier.com/journals/sustainable-energy-technologies-and-assessments/2213-1388/guide-for-authors). Consequently, the Editor decided to retract the paper.
As such this article represents an abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the Journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
