Abstract

Correction for ‘Ni nanoparticle-decorated-MnO2 nanodendrites as highly selective and efficient catalysts for CO2 electroreduction’ by Xu-Jun He et al., J. Mater. Chem. A, 2018, 6, 19438–19444.


The authors regret that the Fig. S3 and S16 in the ESI of the published article were not correct. In Fig. S3 and S16, we measured the XRD patterns of the wrong Ni–MnO2 and MnO2 samples, and so the original XRD patterns in Fig. S3 and S16 cannot represent the actual data. Because of the above mistakes, we re-synthesized Ni NPs/MnO2 NDs-CFs and MnO2 NDs-CFs samples and re-measured the XRD patterns of the above samples. The corrected Fig. S3 and S16 are shown below. The other experiments in this paper were not affected by this issue. In addition, the data analysis and conclusions in this paper are not affected by these unintentional errors. The sentence in Page 19439: “…MnO2 (110), (101) and (310) peaks” should be corrected as: “…MnO2 (101), (400), (330), (411) and (521) peaks”.
