The authors regret the SEM images depicted in Fig. 1 do not accu­ archiving. Therefore, the corrected versions of these SEM images are
rately represent the corresponding classes of nanoparticles: class (A) presented below. It's crucial to note that this change does not impact
with a size of 12 nm, class (B) with a size of 22 nm, and class (C) with a other parts of the article. The authors would like to apologize for any
size of 54 nm. This discrepancy occurred as a result of a mistake during inconvenience caused.
