Abstract

Correction for ‘Novel formation of Bi@BiFe-glycolate hollow spheres and their conversion into Bi2O3/BiFeO3 composite hollow spheres with enhanced activity and durability in visible photocatalysis’ by Xu Yang et al., New J. Chem., 2018, 42, 10697–10703.


The authors would like to correct ref. 25 and Scheme 1, which are incorrect in the published article.

Ref. 25 should be: F. Gao, X. Y. Chen, K. B. Yin, S. Dong, Z. F. Ren, F. Yuan, T. Yu, Z. G. Zou and J.-M. Liu, Adv. Mater., 2007, 19, 2889–2892.

Scheme 1 should be corrected as shown below. The band gaps 2.07 eV and 2.35 eV should correspond to BiFeO3 and Bi2O3, respectively.
