The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this article because of errors and inconsistencies which raise concerns regarding the validity of the research reported in this work. A review conducted by the journal found that: The turnover frequency reported in the section entitled Catalytic Studies of Hydrogen Production was incorrectly calculated; There is no conclusive evidence that bimetallic Nickel-Cobalt nanoparticles associated with carbon nanotubes were synthesized, as the reported XRD pattern and TEM micrographs don’t support this result. Furthermore, the description of the synthesis procedure was considered to be lacking in substance; The differences between the average sizes of nanoparticles is not adequately explained. The authors were asked to comment on these concerns, but their explanation was deemed unsatisfactory. The Editors-in-Chief no longer have confidence in the research presented in this article. The authors disagree with this retraction.

The use of catalysts is one of the most important parameters in producing hydrogen energy. Zinc-oxide/cobalt nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical methods and doped on f-MWCNT (ZnO/Co@f-MWCNT NPs) as a supporting material. Various characterization techniques were used to examine the structural and morphological properties of the synthesized nanoparticles (ZnO/Co@f-MWCNT NPs). According to the XRD characterization results, the average crystal particle size of NPs was calculated as 2.10 nm, and according to TEM analysis, the average particle size was calculated to be 2.24 ± 0.5 nm. The catalytic activity of ZnO/Co@f-MWCNT NPs toward hydrogen production was determined using NaBH4 as the hydrogen source. Studies were carried out on how the catalytic activity of ZnO/Co@f-MWCNT NPs would vary in different parameters. The average reusability performance achieved after 4 cycles for hydrogen production is 89%. Turnover frequency (TOF) according to catalytic activity, activation energy (Ea), enthalpy (∆H), and entropy (∆S) were found to be 2467.4 min−1, 16.36 kj/mol, 13.79 kj/mol and -122.8 J/mol.K, respectively. This study provides guidance for hydrogen production, and other energy studies, and supporting agents in the future.

In this study, nickel-cobalt@functionalized multi-walled carbon nanoparticles (NiCo@f-MWCNT NPs) were synthesized, analysed, and used for hydrogen generation via methanolysis on NaBH4. For the NPs synthesis, two steps were conducted (i.e., i: MWCNT was functionalized in an acid medium to support NPs (f-MWCNT); ii: NiCo NPs were synthesized and supplemented with f-MWCNT). Various characterization techniques were used to examine the morphological structure of NiCo@f-MWCNT NPs. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) results showed that the NPs were sized as 3.941 ± 1.094 nm with a spherical structure. The X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) results indicated an average crystalline size of 1.46 nm. The evaluation of the catalytic performance for hydrogen production revealed that the turnover frequency (TOF) was calculated to be 2934.4 min− 1 with activation energy (Ea) and enthalpy (∆H) of 39.29 kJ/mol and 36.74 kJ/mol, respectively, which indicates high viability for hydrogen transport and generation application and processes.
