Submitted on May 20, accepted on July 28. I delayed myself for about half a month due to revisions in between. Both reviewers were very friendly.

Share the progress, there was only one reviewer all along, waited for more than two months.

Overall, the editing process was fast, but it was difficult to find reviewers. Two articles were accepted on the same day.

Submission on May 11th, review completed on May 28th. One of the reviewers said my work was too comprehensive and lacked foresight, stating that my introduction, XRD and SEM characterization did not address the issue. Can I appeal this? I prepared this article according to the standards of the journal's usual Zone 1 submissions, with rich characterization and experimental data, including TEM and in-situ XPS. I am eager to publish this article, but he rejected it, which is very frustrating. The other reviewer had only five simple questions and rejected the manuscript outright.

5.14 The word count exceeds 2000 words, and if the three innovative points are not written, it will be rejected. It was returned at 2:00 in the morning on the 15th for overnight revision.
5.15 UR
5.21 accept
If the revised version exceeds 2000 words, it will be sent back, and it is required to reduce it to below 2000 words for review.
The preliminary work only included SEM, and if it is successful, it is a win.

As of April 21, only one reviewer has completed the report, and no new reviewers have accepted the invitation. The recent submissions have been very difficult.

If you can't find a reviewer for a long time, it has been half a month now. Only one reviewer has accepted and completed the review, and there are no other reviewers, and the status has not changed.

The revised manuscript was accepted. The editors and reviewers handled it efficiently. Thumbs up to the journal! I hope the impact factor will continue to increase in the future.

The speed is quite fast, opinions are mild. Surprisingly, is Zone 4 becoming Zone 3?

The submission period was written incorrectly, it takes about 2 months from submission to acceptance.
