Correction: Comprehensive insights into the charge dynamics process and excellent photoelectric properties of heterojunction solar cells

Abstract

Correction for ‘Comprehensive insights into the charge dynamics process and excellent photoelectric properties of heterojunction solar cells’ by Xiangyang Liu et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2016, 18, 24299–24306.

The authors wish to draw the readers’ attention to their two closely related papers, published at nearly the same time in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces¹ and Applied Physics Letters,² which should have been cited in this Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics paper.

All three papers report improvements in the performance of a bulk heterojunction solar cell with inclusion of graphene nanoplates in the active region. The device structures are very similar, differing primarily in the electron acceptor, which was Zn₂SnO₄ nanoparticles in the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics paper, Zn₂SnO₄ nanorods in ref. 1 and ZnO nanorods in ref. 2. Therefore, ref. 1 and 2 should have been cited in this Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics paper.

The authors regret that there is unattributed overlap in text and Fig. 1a, 2a, 3a and 4a between this Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics paper and ref. 1. The figures were reproduced from ref. 1 for the readers' information.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
