The above article, published online on 15 December 2021 in Wiley Online Library, has been retracted by agreement between the former journal Editor in Chief John Uhlrich, the interim Editor in Chief Till von Graberg, and Wiley‐VCH GmbH. Data irregularities in Figures 2b and 5b were pointed out by authors S. Akin, A. E. Shalan and corroborated by peer review from a specialist in the experimental technique. The authors were unable to provide the complete original data to restore confidence in these results. The retraction was necessary as the validity of the conclusions is substantially affected by these irregularities. While S.A. and A.E.S. agreed with the decision to retract the manuscript, R.T.L., A.M., and S.G. did not.
