Error in Figure

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 7b,d as published. The authors have carefully checked the original files and found that it was an inadvertent mistake during the preparation of the manuscript. The corrected Figure 7 appears below.

Figure 7

FESEM images of the worn surfaces on the magnesium alloy lubricated by: (a) base oil, (b) 0.1 wt % SiO2 nanolubricants, (c) 1.0 wt % MoS2 nanolubricants, and (d) SiO2:MoS2 (0.1:1.0) hybrid nanolubricants (3 N, 0.08 m/s, 0.5 h).

Text Correction

Additionally, we made the following changes in the text of the manuscript according to the corrected Figure 7d.

In Section 3.4, we replaced the following sentence: with the one below:

“In marked contrast, the SiO2:MoS2 (0.1:1.0) hybrid nanolubricants produce even less surface damage with the smoothest worn surface and fewest grooves in a more random pattern.”

“In marked contrast, the SiO2:MoS2 (0.1:1.0) hybrid nanolubricants produce even less surface damage with wear debris and fewest grooves in a more random pattern.”

The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
