Abstract

Correction for ‘In-depth first-principle study on novel MoS2 polymorphs’ by Håkon Eidsvåg et al., RSC Adv., 2021, 11, 3759–3769, DOI: 10.1039/D0RA10443D.


The authors regret that there was an error in the sentences from line 24 in the right column on page 3759 to line 3 in the left column on page 3760 of the original article. The text originally read, “Early research suggests that bulk MoS2 could metallize under pressure as they found that the bandgap shrinks due to a negative pressure coefficient of resistivity, dEG/dP < 0.16 Unfortunately, the structural transition is unknown, and it requires further research.” These sentences should read, “For example, if the pressure is above 25 to 35 GPa it will cause a structural transition from 2Hc-MoS2 to 2Ha-MoS2 as the MoS2 layers will slide in a process similar to superlubric sliding.16 This will also result in band overlap metallization in both structures.16

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