In the abstract for this paper, the sentence beginning "ac Impedance spectroscopy..." was printed incorrectly. This sentence in its correct form is reproduced below:

ac Impedance spectroscopy measurements for meso-SiO₂-C₁₂(EO)₁₀OH-LiCF₃SO₃ composite materials have demonstrated high ionic conductivities at room temperature, which bodes well for their use in the field of polymer electrolytes and battery technology.

Also, Fig. 4 as printed contains no scale bars, although these are referred to in the figure caption. An amended figure caption is therefore given here:

Fig. 4 TEM image of (A) ordered (1 cm = 50 nm) and (B) disordered (1 cm = 60 nm) meso-SiO₂-C₁₂(EO)₁₀OH-LiCF₃SO₃ materials synthesized on glass microscope slides (A) and ground to a powder (B).
