In the original publication of the article (Niu et al. 2020), the statement in the Funding information section was incorrectly given as ‘the National Key R&D Program of China (No. 2018YFA090010)’ and should have read ‘the National Key R&D Program of China (No. 2018YFA0901700)’. The original article has been corrected.
