Abstract
Correction for ‘Improving the selectivity of hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation for vanillin by using vacancy-coupled Ru–N3 single atoms immobilized on defective boron nitride’ by Haoxiang Fan et al., J. Mater. Chem. A, 2023, https://doi.org/10.1039/d3ta01384g.
The authors regret that the synthesis method for Ru-SA/C3N4 listed in Section 2.2. in their manuscript is incorrect, as it mistakenly repeats the synthesis protocol of Ru-SA/pBN in Section 2.1. The authors also regret that the wording for the synthesis of Ru-SA/NC in Section 2.3. is slightly unclear. The corrected synthesis methods for Ru-SA/C3N4 and Ru-SA/NC are provided herein.
2.2. Synthesis of Ru-SA/C3N4
First, the g-C3N4 was synthesized by heating urea in a closed alumina crucible in a muffle furnace at 600 °C (heating rate, 5 °C min−1) for 2 hours. Ru-SA/C3N4 was prepared by adding 0.5 mL ruthenium acetylacetonate ethanol solution (1 mg mL−1) to a dispersion of g-C3N4 (50 mg g-C3N4 in 50 mL ethanol). The remaining steps were the same as the preparation of Ru-SA/pBN-VN.
2.3. Synthesis of Ru-SA/NC
First, trimesic acid (0.12 g) and DCDA (1.2 g) were mixed by grinding and heat-treated from room temperature to 900 °C with a heating rate of 5 °C min−1 under a N2 flow. After calcining for a further 2 hours at the desired temperature, the sample was naturally cooled to room temperature, denoted as NC. Ru-SA/NC was prepared by adding 0.5 mL ruthenium acetylacetonate ethanol solution (1 mg mL−1) to a dispersion of NC (50 mg NC in 50 mL of ethanol). The remaining steps were the same as the preparation of Ru-SA/pBN-VN.
