Abstract

The authors regret that errors were made in the units of electrical resistance and therefore some reported values. During the revision process, we were asked to present the resistance as area-normalized resistance. To normalize the electrical resistance, we divided the resistance by the projected electrode area (giving units of Ω m −2 ), which was erroneous. Rather the resistance should have been multiplied by projected electrode area to give units of Ω m 2 . The incorrect normalization was only performed when presenting the values in Table 2, Section 4.1, and the captions for Fig. 10 in the main manuscript. Importantly, the normalization error was not propagated to the Python code developed for this project. Consequently, the errors have not affected any of the calculations or the results presented in this study. The corrected Table 2 should be:[Table presented] In addition, in the first paragraph of Section 4.1, “1.8 Ω m −2 ” should be changed to “0.02 Ω m 2 ” and “7.1 Ω m −2 ” should be changed to “0.09 Ω m 2 ”. The corrections for the resistance values presented in the caption of Fig. 10 are listed in the following table:[Table presented] In the caption of Fig. 4A, “Cell voltage” should be changed to “Voltage”.
