The Packet 3,1 line and the Packet 3,2 line on the Figure 8 (a) of this article look too similar to each other than expected. The Packet 3,6 line and the Packet 3,7 line on the Figure 8 (a) of this article look too similar to each other than expected.

Parts, but not all, of the SEM images in Figure 5 (a) and (d) of this article overlap to each other, but they were claimed to be obtained from different materials.

The SEM image on Figure 1 (a) of this article was reused from that on Figure 7 of the article [1], but the article [1] were not cited or mentioned.
