Abstract

Correction for ‘Cubic mesoporous Pd–WO₃ loaded graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) nanohybrids: highly sensitive and temperature dependent VOC sensors’ by Ritu Malik et al., J. Mater. Chem. A, 2018, 6, 10718–10730, DOI: 10.1039/C8TA02702A.

The authors Torben Dankwort, Yogendra Kumar Mishra and Lorenz Kienle in the original article withdraw their authorship. Since both the experimental and characterization work were performed at D.C.R. University of Science & Technology (Haryana) India, the authors (Ritu Malik and Vijay K. Tomer) would like to update their affiliations also.

The corrected authorship list and affiliations for this paper are as follows:

Ritu Malik^a and Vijay K. Tomer*^b

^a Department of Physics, D.C.R. University of Science & Technology, Murthal 131039, Haryana, India

^b Department of Materials Science & Nanotechnology, D.C.R. University of Science & Technology, Murthal 131039, Haryana, India. E-mail: E-mail: vjtomer@gmail.com

With deep regret we wish to make the following changes in the above mentioned article:

(1) The HRTEM images in Fig. 3a and b for the mesoporous silica (KIT-6) material and Fig. 3c and d for the KIT-6 templated Pd–WO₃/m-CN material were mislabeled in confusion with another mesoporous silica material (SBA-15) and SBA-15 templated Pd–WO₃/m-CN material under parallel study. The corrected figure is presented below. We confirm that the corresponding text and caption will remain the same as in the original version. We further confirm that the errors do not alter the results or discussions of the article. The authors express sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

(2) The SEM image in Fig. 5a and TEM image in Fig. 5g for Pd–WO₃/m-CN material were uploaded incorrectly in confusion with WO₃/m-CN material and so the corresponding color mapping images (Fig. 5b–f) and the SAED pattern (Fig. 5h) were also incorrect. The corrected figure is presented below. We confirm that the corresponding text and caption will remain the same as in the original version. We further confirm that the errors do not alter the results or discussions of the article. The authors express sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

(g) HRTEM image showing the presence of Pd and WO₃ nanoparticles in the m-CN matrix and (h) SAED pattern showing the polycrystalline nature of the mesoporous Pd–WO₃/m-CN material.

(3) The Acknowledgements section should be corrected as follows:

The authors gratefully acknowledge Professor Surender Duhan, D.C.R. University of Science & Technology (Hr) for providing the research facilities.

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