Due to the lack of communications between our cooperators and us, we misused some electron microscope images (Fig. 1 and Fig. 3b) in this work. The right images are given in this addition. Due to the misuse, the original data is withdrawn and will be used by our cooperators in future. The science of this work is correct.

We are very sorry for the mistake we made. The correct figures are below.

Fig. 1 SEM images of np-AuAg alloy obtained by dealloying the AuAgAl alloy in HCl solution (a), annealed np-AuAg alloy (b), bimodal np-Au obtained by further dealloying the np-AuAg in HNO3 solution (c), and (d) is the enlarged SEM image of the bimodal np-Au.
