Correction: Green-synthesised cerium oxide nanostructures (CeO₂-NS) show excellent biocompatibility for phyto-cultures as compared to silver nanostructures (Ag-NS)

Abstract

Correction for ‘Green-synthesised cerium oxide nanostructures (CeO₂-NS) show excellent biocompatibility for phyto-cultures as compared to silver nanostructures (Ag-NS)’ by Qaisar Maqbool, RSC Adv., 2017, 7, 56575–56585, https://doi.org/10.1039/c7ra12082f.

The author regrets that Fig. 4 and 5 of the original article did not appropriately represent the findings.

Fig. 4. Comparative TGA analysis of CeO₂-NS and Ag-NS.

Fig. 5. FTIR spectrum of CeO₂-NS and Ag-NS.

The correct version of Fig. 4 is shown below. In addition, the associated text on page 56578 “Experimental findings show total mass loss…” should be changed to “Experimental findings show total mass loss of 57.53% by CeO₂-NS and 61.12% by Ag-NS.”

Fig. 5 of the original article shows only the plot of selected data points. In order to provide clarity to readers, it should be replaced with the following original FTIR plots (complete scan).

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