In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in the legend for Table 2. The authors mistakenly reported erroneous values of ΔG°. This has now been corrected. We recalculated all thermodynamic parameters based on Equation (7) and updated Table 2 accordingly. The correct legend appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
