Correction to: Nature Catalysis https://doi.org/10.1038/s41929-020-0440-2, published online 23 March 2020.

In the Supplementary Information file originally published for this Article, the parameter of space velocity in Supplementary Fig. 19a was incorrect as ‘60000 mL·gcat–1·h–1’; it should have been ‘180000 mL·gcat–1·h–1’. This has now been corrected and, for completeness, the catalytic performance of the Ni1Au alloy synthesized using a SEA method under a space velocity of 60000 mL·gcat–1·h–1 has been added as Supplementary Fig. 19c.
