Except for the initial review taking a bit longer, everything else was very fast. The paper is related to lithium-sulfur batteries, with three reviewers, one minor revision, and two major revisions. The reviewers' comments were all very professional and requested additional experiments. In addition, the editor also provided 8 suggestions, mainly regarding formatting and abbreviations. Thank you to the journal editor Prof. Paula L. Diaconescu and the reviewers for their professional and efficient review process.

We have published in the journal with the least resistance in the past few years, without a doubt. The peripheral data of the students' main project has been floating around for 2 years, and it has not been accepted by more than ten journals in levels 1-3. When submitted to Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers, it took only 2 weeks to receive minor revisions, and the total time from submission to acceptance did not exceed 3 weeks. We also frequently receive invitations for peer review from journals, and we evaluate them based on the criteria of level 3, as the average level of the journals is more or less the same.
