Abstract
Correction for ‘Functionalized boron nitride nanosheets conjugated with plant micronutrients as seed dressing agents towards control of bacterial wilt disease’ by Li Hao et al., Environ. Sci.: Nano, 2023, 10, 2343–2358, https://doi.org/10.1039/D3EN00173C.
The authors regret the omission of a reference from the original manuscript that they previously published in ACS Applied Nano Materials. Mainly in the Experimental Section including 2.3 Ionic liquid-promoted boron nitride nanosheets exfoliation and anchored with plant micronutrients and 2.8 Study on the minimal inhibitory concentration against bacteria, the authors should have added a citation to their ACS Applied Nano Materials article to enhance the clarity and credibility of the information presented.
The first sentence in the section “2.3. Ionic liquid-promoted boron nitride nanosheet exfoliation and anchoring of plant micronutrients” should have read as:
Referring to the preparation methods of our previous work with some changes,1 10 g IL was added into a three-necked flask and heated at 120 °C to be melted into a colorless and transparent viscous liquid.
The first sentence in the section “2.8. Study on the minimal inhibitory concentration against bacteria” should have read as:
According to our previous work method with some changes,1 Antibacterial activity of BNNS-IL-ADM was quantitatively analyzed by determining the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) in accordance with a previous reported method.
The innovation and highlights of this Environmental Science: Nano mainly includes that IL-assisted BNNS exfoliation and conjugation with plant micronutrients was firstly proposed as seed dressing agent to control agricultural diseases (bacterial wilt disease) which exhibited promoting effect on seed germination and plant growth and represented facilitated fixation of major organic elements and presented excellent adhesion ability and uniform coating.
This work differs from our previous paper which concerned a facile strategy of IL-promoted BNNS simultaneously exfoliation and conjugation with ammonium dimolybdate via cations-anions ion exchange interactions between metal oxygen cluster anions and imidazolium cations and acquired large ultrathin nanosheets with 3–4 layers and micron lateral dimension, and presented excellent antibacterial activity and further summarized the antibacterial mechanism.
The added citation will provide readers with a direct reference to the original preparation method and antibacterial method, thus supporting the accuracy and integrity of the content.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
