Abstract

The authors apologise that incorrect images were presented in Fig. 1b and 8. The authors provided the raw data for these two figures for examination and an independent expert confirmed that the raw data did not match with the published figures. The authors believe that images were mixed up with their related paper, ref. 5d in the original article, which was submitted at a similar time. The authors have rechecked and reprocessed the raw data and are now providing the correct images to update the scientific record. They regret this mistake, which happened inadvertently and unintentionally.

Fig. 1 (b) FTIR spectrum of GO–TiO₂.

Fig. 8 Elemental mapping images of carbon, oxygen and titanium in GO–TiO₂.

The corrected versions of Fig. 1b and 8 are shown here.

In addition, Fig. 6a was reproduced from ref. 5d and was provided for readers’ information. However, the authors did not correctly attribute the figure to its original source.

The caption for Fig. 6a should be changed to “Fig. 6a TEM image of GO. Image reproduced from ref. 5d with permission from the Royal Society of Chemistry.”

The authors would also like to add a citation to ref. 5d to the following sentence on page 5056:

“The TEM images of GO (Fig. 6a) revealed the nanoscopic features with few numbers of layers.^5d”

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