Abstract

Correction for ‘Efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution over hydrogenated ZnO nanorod arrays’ by Xihong Lu et al., Chem. Commun., 2012, 48, 7717–7719, DOI: 10.1039/C2CC31773G.

Recently, we found that the XPS data in Fig. 2a was incorrect in the published version, and the corrected version of Fig. 2 is shown below.

Fig. 2 Core level (a) Zn 2p and (b) O 1s XPS spectra of ZnO and H[thin space (1/6-em)]:[thin space (1/6-em)]ZnO NRAs. (c) Raman spectra of ZnO and H[thin space (1/6-em)]:[thin space (1/6-em)]ZnO NRAs. Dashed lines highlight the characteristic peaks for ZnO. (d) Mott–Schottky plots collected for ZnO and H[thin space (1/6-em)]:[thin space (1/6-em)]ZnO NRAs at a frequency of 10 kHz in the dark.

The original description of this data in our manuscript is as follows: The results confirm that hydrogenation did not introduce other impurities into ZnO. Their Zn 2p3/2 and Zn 2p1/2 lines are found at the binding energies of about 1021 and 1044 eV, which are consistent with the values reported for ZnO (Fig. 2a). Fortunately, the data analysis and conclusions are not affected by this unintentional error. Although the XPS spectra are not key data in our work, to make our work more accurate, the figure should be corrected.

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