A more detailed process for reference. This is in the field of lithium batteries. The comments mentioned that this journal is very slow because it was rejected from the second tier. I initially submitted with a nonchalant attitude, but it turned out to be quite fast, perhaps due to good luck. Thank you to Editor Douglas G. Ivey. There was a slight delay during the minor revision, but overall it was still quite fast. Finally, I wish everyone success in their submissions.

Let me share a bit. Firstly, it was really not easy to go through half a year and finally get accepted. I submitted it on 2020-8-22 and received the acceptance notice today, on 2021-1-21, which is almost exactly half a year. Overall, the feeling is that it was slow. The review comments were not difficult, and the review period was not long. The first review took less than a month, but the review was in a pending state for 2 months. Then I wrote a reminder, and 5 days later, they made the decision to revise. There were two reviewers, one asked for two of his own references, and that was it. The other one had three easy-to-solve questions. Finally, the manuscript was returned, and in 3 days, it was already in the completed review state. Today is the 15th day, and the editor made the decision to accept it.
