Lithium-sulfur batteries, a slightly regrettable work, but the handling by the IC was still fast, and the reputation of the well-established journal is also good. Hopefully the next work will be better.

Two minor revisions, one reviewer said our work is very similar to what has already been published, so the editor rejected it!!!!
I can't believe it, two minor revisions from reviewers, one even said it was written very well, but the other reviewer just said it's the same, MD

From submission to acceptance took only one month, very fast. The manuscript was sent for review the day after submission, and the peer review process took 17 days. After minor revisions, it was accepted within 3 days of resubmission.

I submitted an article in early October with the submission number 40000+, and it feels like there is still a large volume of submissions. Also, I don't know what the meaning of the last letter is.

Could you please clarify if he will assign a number to all the articles together, or if he will label each direction with a different letter?

Brother, which editor are you?

This is a very good journal, it is also a natural index journal. Although there are now a bunch of knockoff versions of inorganic chemistry journals, such as IC communication, IC Front, it is unclear why the Chinese Academy of Sciences classification would place this classic journal in the second tier, while smaller journals are in the first tier. This way, the Chinese Academy of Sciences classification will become less and less authoritative.

Indeed, I submitted an article to Brandi before, and the editor was very kind. I basically made revisions according to the reviewer's comments and adjusted the format, and the article was accepted.
