The authors regret to inform that the following several errors in the aforementioned article. (1) Missing asterisk mark for the co-corresponding author (Dr. Soonhyun Kim) in the online version of the article. It is essential that asterisk mark for the co-corresponding author. (2) In abstract on page 1: “It is proposed that electrons spontaneously transfer from aromatic compound to O₂ viaFe₂O₃/CNF with initiating the oxidative degradation and the concurrent ROS generation.” must be corrected to “It is proposed that electrons spontaneously transfer from aromatic compound to O₂ via Fe₂O₃/CNF with initiating the oxidative degradation and the concurrent ROS generation.” (3) In section 1. on page 1: “Recently, Fe/Fe₂O₃ composites have been used to degrade pollutants viaa reductive or oxidative pathway under dark conditions without additional reagents, but catalyst reuse and recovery were limited because of low catalytic property and stability [8–11].” must be corrected to “Recently, Fe/Fe₂O₃ composites have been used to degrade pollutants via a reductive or oxidative pathway under dark conditions without additional reagents, but catalyst reuse and recovery were limited because of low catalytic property and stability [8–11].” (4) In section of 2.5. on Page 3: “Furthermore, the concentration of H₂O₂ was determined by using a DPD colorimetric method (based on the horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed reaction between H₂O₂ and DPD) using a UV–vis spectrophotometer ([Formula presented]_max =551 nm, [Formula presented]= 21,000 M¹ cm) [20].” must be corrected to “Furthermore, the concentration of H₂O₂ was determined by using a DPD colorimetric method (based on the horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed reaction between H₂O₂ and DPD) using a UV–vis spectrophotometer ([Formula presented]_max =551 nm, [Formula presented]= 21,000 M⁻¹ cm⁻¹) [20].” (5) In section 3.1. on page 3: “The average particle sizes of commercial iron oxides (i.e., Fe₂O₃, FeOOH, and Fe₃O₄) used for the comparison of activity were 10–200 nm (Figs. 1–f).” must be corrected to “The average particle sizes of commercial iron oxides (i.e., Fe₂O₃, FeOOH, and Fe₃O₄) used for the comparison of activity were 10–200 nm (Figs. 1d–f).” (6) In section 3.2. on page 4: “It should be noted that the commercial iron oxides nanoparticles have widely varying sizes (ca. 10–200 nm, Figs. 1–f) but none of them exhibited any measurable activity for 4-CP oxidation.” must be corrected to “It should be noted that the commercial iron oxides nanoparticles have widely varying sizes (ca. 10–200 nm, Figs. 1d–f) but none of them exhibited any measurable activity for 4-CP oxidation.” (7) In section 3.2. on page 4: “Although the significant deficit in the Cl mass balance indicates that there are a number of missing products and intermediates (Fig. S2), the apparent generation of Cl⁻ and 4-CC indicates that the observed 4-CP removal on Fe₂O₃/CNF did not occur viaasimple adsorption but by the 4-CP degradation.” must be corrected to “Although the significant deficit in the Cl mass balance indicates that there are a number of missing products and intermediates (Fig. S2), the apparent generation of Cl⁻ and 4-CC indicates that the observed 4-CP removal on Fe₂O₃/CNF did not occur via a simple adsorption but by the 4-CP degradation.” (8) In section 3.2. on page 4: “However, when the degradation of 4-CP on Fe₂O₃/CNF was performed in N₂ saturated condition, where the oxidant generation viaO₂ reduction is not possible, the removal of 4-CP and the production of CO₂ were both negligible.” must be corrected to “However, when the degradation of 4-CP on Fe₂O₃/CNF was performed in N₂ saturated condition, where the oxidant generation via O₂ reduction is not possible, the removal of 4-CP and the production of CO₂ were both negligible.” (9) In caption of Fig. 3. on page 5: “(b) The production of chloride ions (Cl⁻)and 4-CC from 4-CP (C₀ = 100 μM) degradation on Fe₂O₃/CNF (4 g L⁻¹; Total Cl = [4-CP] + [4-CC] + [Cl⁻]).” must be corrected to “(b) The production of chloride ions (Cl-) and 4-CC from 4-CP (C₀ = 100 μM) degradation on Fe₂O₃/CNF (4 g L⁻¹; Total Cl = [4-CP] + [4-CC] + [Cl⁻]).” (10) In the caption of Fig. 5. on page 5: “(a) Fluorescence emission spectra evolution as a result of hydroxylated product formation via OH reaction with TA (OH probe reagent) on Fe₂O₃/CNF.” must be corrected to “(a) Fluorescence emission spectra evolution as a result of hydroxylated product formation via OH reaction with TA (OH probe reagent) on Fe₂O₃/CNF.” (11) In section 3.5. on page 7: “The electron transfer was initiated from the aromatic compound (i.e., 4-CP) to the Fe₂O₃/CNF, and the electrons were transferred to the CNF, and subsequently reduce O₂ to generate OH viathe formation of O₂⁻ and H₂O₂(Eqs.
