The submitted review article was transferred from CEJ to Materials Today Energy on December 22, 2023, and was submitted for review on January 2, 2024. Due to slow responses from invited reviewers, the final two reviewers did not return their comments until March 9. After revisions, the article was accepted for publication. The handling editor was Hong Jin Fan, who was very responsible

I feel that the requirements for reviewing this journal are very high. I received a lot of comments on the review. My supervisor said that these are the most comments she has received since she started teaching. We have been promoted to the second tier this year, so the future looks promising

The division of Chinese Academy of Sciences is very mysterious, but I feel that I can reach Division 2 by the end of the year

19th submission, rejected by the editor within seven days. Reason: Too many submissions, lack of novelty.

I'm really drunk. The new division is still tier 3. Except for MTE and Communication, it seems like all other journals are tier 1 or tier 2 in Materials Today. This year, we ranked first in tier 3. What's wrong with giving us an extra spot in tier 2? I hope we can make it to tier 2 next year too!!

Huh? Isn't it Zone 3? I applied to JPS and got rejected, then was advised to apply to this one. I hope I won't get rejected again.

Just a second-tier journal. Where does your confidence come from? I have read several articles published by you guys, and even those that are not as innovative and have inferior material performance compared to mine, you still dare to accept them. I only submitted to you because I wanted to quickly publish an article. I am really disappointed and unlucky. Who reviewed the manuscript? Come on, give me the reasons. It's just because our non-prestigious school was discriminated against that you rejected the submission. It's really disgusting. No wonder you are not at the top, and you cannot make progress. It seems like networking is necessary for submitting articles nowadays.

It took a little over two months, which is already quite fast. The editor and reviewers were very professional, and their feedback was sharp and to the point. It was appropriate to receive the reviewers' comments within a month, and they responded quickly. I really like this journal, as it has high quality and impact factor. I will consider submitting to it in the future. Best wishes for the continued success of MTE!

Compared to many journals of the same level, this journal has already been very fast in terms of speed. It only took around two months for your work to be accepted. Congratulations! It is a good journal, and its current impact factor is already 9.1. The future looks promising!

At that time, I had four reviewers, some of whom responded slowly, resulting in the overall slow progress. It took a month to complete the review. However, when it comes to searching, unfortunately, it has been over two months and I still can't find anything.

Too slow, it was only after you said it was fast that I submitted, and now the result is not coming out because of the delay.

The current division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is quite mysterious. I still don't understand how it is divided, but this journal should be able to be included next year.

(0) 讚！ | 大好时光

I'm also very curious. All the other sub-journals of Materials Today are in Zone 1, but why is this journal still in Zone 3? It should be reasonable to move it to Zone 2. I hope it will quickly become a top journal.

Why is this journal only in its upgraded version for Zone 3?

Submitted for review on 8.11, with two reviewers who provided very professional feedback. Given one month for revisions, the revised manuscript was returned two weeks later and accepted directly. The entire process, from submission to acceptance, took less than a month. Wishing MTE continued success.
