In this article [1], the affiliation details for Shulin Chen and Peng Sun were incorrectly given as “1” and “2,3” but should have been “1,2” and “3”, respectively.

The affiliations are corrected with this correction. The correct unit labeling should be as follows:

Ao Zhang1, Guanqing Zhong1, Luocan Wang1, Rongzeng Cai1, Runkun Han1, Caixia Xu2, Shulin Chen1,2*, Peng Sun3* and Hao Chen1*
