Abstract

Correction for ‘Tuning the selectivity of electrochemical levulinic acid reduction to 4-hydroxyvaleric acid: a monomer for biocompatible and biodegradable plastics’ by Francisco W. S. Lucas et al., Green Chem., 2021, 23, 9154–9164, DOI: 10.1039/D1GC02826J.


An incorrect version of Fig. 2(b) was included in the original publication. This figure had the x-axis shifted erroneously by 100 wavenumbers. The following version of Fig. 2(b) shows the correct x-axis and replaces Fig. 2(b) within the original manuscript.

Fig. 2 (b) In situ ATR-FTIR spectra for Pb film polarized at different potentials from −0.05 V to −1.90 V vs. RHE, with steps of 150 mV, in 0.1 M KHCO3 + 0.1 M KClO4 at 20 °C.

The peak at 1520 cm−1 was also mis-referenced as 1620 cm−1 in the original text, section 3.2. Potential effects, discussing the figure. The corrected sentence is as follows:

“This experiment shows the formation of (detectable) lead hydride starting around −1.60 V vs. RHE, evidenced by the appearance of a peak at about 1520 cm−1 associated with a Pb–H stretch.”

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