Abstract
Correction for ‘Zn2SnO4:Cr,Eu ultra-small nanoparticles as new near infrared-emitting persistent luminescent nanoprobes for cellular and deep tissue imaging at 800 nm’ by Hongwu Zhang et al., Nanoscale, 2017, 9, 8631–8638.
The authors have noticed that some errors, such as a typographical error of Zn2SnO4, incorrect XRD patterns and miscalculated particle sizes, were present in the originally published version of this article.
The corrections that should be noted are as follows:
(1) In our paper, from analysis of the XRD patterns in Fig. 1(f), the as-prepared nanoparticles were shown to be Zn2SnO4, as stated throughout the manuscript. The incorrect chemical formula “ZnSn2O4”, listed in the title and abstract, should be corrected to “Zn2SnO4”.
(2) All mentions of a particle size of 5 nm in the original article were not correct, and thus should be corrected to “7.3 ± 0.6 nm”. The reference to a particle size of 5 nm has also been removed from the title.
(3) The size distribution shown in Fig. 1c in the original article was incorrect. The corrected version of Fig. 1c is given below.
(4) The XRD pattern shown in Fig. 1f in the original article was incorrect. The corrected version of Fig. 1f is given below.
