Abstract
Correction for ‘Sensitive and selective determination of aqueous triclosan based on gold nanoparticles on polyoxometalate/reduced graphene oxide nanohybrid’ by Mehmet Lütfi Yola et al., RSC Adv., 2015, 5, 65953–65962.
The authors regret that mistakes were made in the preparation of Fig. 6 and Table 1 in the original article. Several of the line colours presented in the legend for Fig. 6A do not correspond to the correct curves in the plot. The correct image for Fig. 6 is shown below.

Additionally, two of the values presented in Table 1 in the original manuscript are incorrect. The “Recovery (%)” value for the “Wastewater” sample with 9.0 nM added TCS should be 100.0 ± 0.02, rather than 99.8 ± 0.6. The “Found TCS (nM)” value for the “Lakewater” sample with 6.0 nM added TCS should be 7.67 ± 0.02, rather than 9.67 ± 0.02. The corrected version of Table 1 is shown below.
| Sample | Added TCS (nM) | Found TCS (nM) | Recovery (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wastewater | — | 3.10 ± 0.03 | — |
| 3.0 | 6.03 ± 0.02 | 98.9 ± 0.5 | |
| 6.0 | 9.02 ± 0.04 | 99.1 ± 0.4 | |
| 9.0 | 12.1 ± 0.02 | 100.0 ± 0.2 | |
| Lakewater | — | 1.66 ± 0.06 | — |
| 3.0 | 4.65 ± 0.04 | 99.8 ± 0.6 | |
| 6.0 | 7.67 ± 0.02 | 100.1 ± 0.2 | |
| 9.0 | 10.6 ± 0.05 | 99.4 ± 0.3 |
