The Editor-in-Chief is issuing an editorial expression of concern regarding the article [1]. While the article presents novel information regarding the influence of iron doping on photocatalytic behavior of the studied particles, the Editor-in-Chief is concerned regarding the amount of overlap with [2, 3]. None of the authors have responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this overlap or the Editorial Expression of Concern.
