I, Dr. Xinyong Li, in the name of the whole authors acknowledge that the misspellings of the element name in the afore-mentioned article. Overall, the targeted catalysts as donated ZnMnO_x had been misspelled as zinc cobalt bimetallic oxide in the sections of the title and abstract. Herein, we would like to correct the “zinc cobalt bimetallic oxide” into “zinc manganese bimetallic oxide” through the whole manuscript, and the revisions have been appended below for JCIS readers references. Title: Electrocatalytic reduction of furfural to furfuryl alcohol using carbon nanofibers supported zinc manganese bimetallic oxide with surface-derived zinc vacancies in alkaline medium. Abstract: Electrocatalytic hydrogenation (ECH) reduction provides an environment-friendly alternative to conventional method for the upgrade of furfural to furfuryl alcohol. At present, exploring superior catalysts with high activity and selectivity, figuring out the reduction mechanism in aqueous alkaline environment are urgent. In this work, zinc manganese bimetallic oxide (ZnMn₂O₄) with surface-derived Zn²⁺ vacancies supported by carbon nanofibers (d-ZnMn₂O₄-C) was fabricated. The d-ZnMn₂O₄-C exhibited excellent performance in electrocatalytic reduction of furfural, high furfuryl alcohol yield (49461.1 ± 228 µmol g^-1) and Faradaic efficiency (95.5 ± 0.5%) was obtained. In-depth research suggested that carbon nanofiber may strongly promoted the production of adsorbed hydrogen (H_ads), and Zn²⁺ vacancies significantly facilitated the adsorption of furfural and lowered the energy barrier of furfural reduction to furfuryl alcohol, the synergistic effect between carbon nanofiber and d-ZnMn₂O₄ probably facilitated the reaction between H_ads and furfuryl alcohol radical, thereby promoting the formation of furfuryl alcohol. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism was clarified by inhibitor coating and isotope experiments, the results of which revealed that the conversion of furfural to furfuryl alcohol on d-ZnMn₂O₄-C followed both ECH and direct electroreduction mechanism. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused followed by appreciating all of the kind attention and support from the journal readers. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
