A little over two months, very fast. The questions from the two reviewers were really good, and they reviewed it very carefully. Let's commemorate this article as the first one to be accepted upon submission.
Many thanks to the two reviewers and Nini Pryds, the editor.

How is your situation now? My second review has been under review for nearly two weeks and there is still no reviewer assigned. Is it because of the summer vacation?

Hello, may I ask if the system will display a DIP status after the first review is completed?

May I ask how your result is? I have also been waiting for a repair for over a month.

哟有 2023-07-29

Today is July 29th. On the 27th, I reminded them again, but there was no response. It is still under review. It has been over a month since it was sent for revision on June 21st. It has been under review the whole time. What is going on? This is really frustrating. Everyone, don't submit to this journal. It tests your patience.

The submission process for this journal was relatively smooth. Previously, I had submitted to ACS Catalysis, Green Chemistry, Chemical Science, ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, and Fuel, but all of them rejected my submission. So I decided to give this journal a try, even though it is a low-ranking journal. However, considering the amount of effort and time I put into this work, and also because it is my first SCI publication, I was not willing to submit it to a second-tier journal. The manuscript was sent for review in about a month, and the reviewer comments came back within 20 days. One of the reviewers is probably from India, and another one may be from China. The comments they provided were reasonable and not overly challenging. Overall, I am grateful for the strong support from the reviewers and editors for this work.

Did you receive the reminder letter I sent you before you returned for revisions??? The editor sent me several reminder letters asking me to return for revisions as soon as possible, but it took me 7 days to send it back to the editor for revisions...

哟有 2023-07-26

Which editor are you? I am just like you. I have been waiting for over a month to go back to the previous version, but it is still in under review status. I'm frustrated.

I am also an editor, Ewa Nowicka-Ratajczak, Ph.D. How was the editing, and what happened to the article afterwards?

中一篇就好 2023-07-25

Submitted for review and completed in just one month's time, with ten questions from two reviewers. The speed was impressive! The editor has given me 20 days for major revisions, hoping for acceptance!

Only the first author agreed.

2023-07-24

Excuse me, does this co-author need to be fully confirmed?

材料学子0827 2023-07-24

Today is July 24, 2023, 9:20 AM in UTC+8 time zone. The submission status is still "With Editor." It's okay if it takes time, but I hope for good luck. Hopefully, it won't be rejected due to the delay.

23.07.01 Submission
23.07.02 with editor
23.07.23 It's been three weeks, still with editor. Not sure how it will turn out, but the progress is indeed very slow.

May I ask what the result is?

Returned for repair on June 21st, sent for review on June 26th, still no response today on July 19th, even reminded once in between. It's really frustrating.

哟有 2023-07-19

Returned for repair on June 21st, it has been almost a month since then on July 19th, and still no response. I even followed up with the editor once in between... It's really frustrating that there has been no reaction at all.

王博士 2023-07-13

I am also an editor. How many days did it take for your submissions to be reviewed?

王博士 2023-07-13

Which editor, let me avoid thunder.

wuxiangyu 2023-07-12

I have also been 11 days.

wuxiangyu 2023-07-12

It has been 11 days, when can I send an email to remind?

wuxiangyu 2023-07-12

I have been waiting for 11 days too, it's difficult to wait.

After 4 days of submission, it changed to "under review". After half a month, the duration of "under review" changed. What does it mean?

lotsve666 2023-07-08

It has been 16 days with the editor. Has anyone encountered a similar situation, friends?
