Abstract

Correction for ‘Engineering tin phosphides@carbon yolk–shell nanocube structures as a highly stable anode material for sodium-ion batteries’ by Lianbo Ma et al., J. Mater. Chem. A, 2017, 5, 16994–17000.


In the description “As presented in Fig. S3, both Sn4P3/C and bare Sn4P3 materials exhibit much bigger particle sizes, which are ascribed to the aggregation of Sn below its melting point” on p16997 of the published article, the reference to ‘Fig. S3’ should instead read ‘Fig. S2’.

Moreover, in the published version of Fig. S2, the TEM images are wrong and may have been mixed with those of other samples. To avoid any possible misleading, these samples have been prepared and characterized again. The authors would like to update the Fig. S2 with a corrected version, containing new TEM and XRD data, as shown below.
