Abstract

Correction for ‘Synergistic effects of Zn and Pd species in TiO2 towards efficient photo-reduction of CO2 into CH4’ by Yanlong Yu et al., New J. Chem., 2018, 42, 483–488, DOI: 10.1039/C7NJ03305B.


On page 2 there should have been an additional reference included with the following statement:

“After 8 h of irradiation, only 0.350 μmol of CH4 is detected for pure TiO2, TiO2–Zn exhibited finite photocatalytic activity and 0.851 μmol of CH4 was generated.”

The missing reference was cited in the original article as ref. 20 and should have been cited at the end of the sentence.

On page 4 there should have been an additional reference included with the following statement:

“TiO2 shows strong absorption in the UV region caused by the band-to-band transition. The band-gap for TiO2 is estimated to be 3.1 eV, as the onset edge is at about 400 nm. Weak absorption centered at about 450 nm from 400 nm to 600 nm for TiO2–Zn is observable.”

The missing reference was cited in the original article as ref. 20 and should have been cited at the end of the sentence.

On page 5 there should have been an additional reference included with the following statement:

“It is observed from Fig. 5A that the emission intensity of TiO2–Zn is weakened compared to TiO2, owing to the surface energy level of O-Zn-Cl species.”

The missing reference was cited in the original article as ref. 20 and should have been cited at the end of the sentence.

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