    Activated carbon based Cobalt nanoparticles (Co@AC NPs), considered in the context of hydrogen energy, which is a renewable and sustainable energy, were synthesized by the hydrothermal method, and their catalytic activities were tested. For this, hydrogen production tests were carried out with the help of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) methanolysis of Co@AC NPs synthesized by the thermal method. Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), Fourier transmission spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization tests were performed. According to the TEM characterization result, it has been observed that the NPs have a spherical shape and an average size of 2.52 ± 0.92 nm. Then, using the catalytic studies, it was observed that hydrogen production’s reusability is found to be 86%. The activation energy (Ea), enthalpy (∆H), and entropy (∆S) values were found to be 20.28 kJ⋅mol−1, 17.74 kJ⋅mol−1, and −125.97 J⋅mol−1 K−1, respectively. The obtained values have yielded excellent results and guide future sustainable and renewable hydrogen energy studies by reducing costs, ensuring environmental sustainability by avoiding the formation of undesirable by-products, and producing hydrogen from NaBH4 through its high catalytic properties.

    The Acknowledgements section was missing from this article and should have read, “This project was supported by Researchers Supporting Project number (RSP2024R383) King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia” In this article, the e-mail address of the co-author Arunachalam Chinnathambi was incorrectly given as “arun.chin78@gmail.com” but should have been “carunachalam@ksu.edu.sa”.

    Retraction note: Cobalt Nanoparticles Supported Active Carbon from Chitosan Biopolymer Using Thermal Method: Synthesis, Characterization, and Hydrogen Production (Topics in Catalysis, (2025), 68, 5-8, (540-549), 10.1007/s11244-024-01998-6)

    Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article due to a compromised initial peer review process. A subsequent post-publication review revealed the following concerns: Misuse of the Eyring equation and incorrect interpretation of UV-vis spectroscopy data; A 50% discrepancy between the particle size determined by XRD and TEM that is not addressed in the paper; Multiple issues with Table 1, e.g., the values in the table do not seem to pertain to the same reaction, making comparison confusing; the table also equates “performance” with “activation energy.” Dubious reliability of certain citations. The Editors-in-Chief have therefore lost confidence in the results reported by this article. Fatih Sen, Hassan Karimi-Maleh, Rima Nour Elhouda Tiri, Fulya Gulbagca and Elif Esra Altuner disagree with this retraction. None of the remaining authors have responded to the correspondence from the Publisher about this retraction.
