Abstract

Correction for ‘Atomic-scale structure and thermoelectric properties in medium-entropy PbSnTeSe alloy’ by Shuwei Zhang et al., J. Mater. Chem. A, 2024, https://doi.org/10.1039/D4TA05952B.


The authors regret that some of the alloy chemical formulae in the published article contained unintended errors. The details are as described below.

The formula ‘PbSn0.98Cu0.04PbSe’ should have been written as ‘PbSn0.98Cu0.04TeSe’. This error was present in the following locations:

• Three instances in the Abstract, in the sentences beginning ‘Furthermore, through progressive optimisation…’ and ‘Consequently, a ZT value…’

• Two instances in the final sentence of the Introduction, which begins ‘Consequently, the carrier mobility…’

• One instance in the Conclusions, in the sentence beginning ‘Subsequently, by introducing additional Sn vacancies…’

Additionally, the formula ‘PbSn0.98Cu0.04TeSe’ was incorrectly used in place of ‘PbSnCu0.04TeSe’ in one sentence in Section 3.5, which begins ‘Meanwhile, a p–n convert can be observed…’

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