The first SCI paper in the master period, and finally I can graduate. It's really not easy to go all the way. The direction of the article is photocatalysis, and there was a little innovation. The editor was Christian Doonan, who was being very nice. It took one week to be sent for review, and two weeks to receive comments. Two reviewers, one required major revision and one minor revision, and the editor requested a major revision. The first reviewer asked 7 small questions and added a few literatures. The second one asked a lot of questions, but they were necessary for improving the quality of the article. A bit of characterization was added, and 3000 words were written in the responses to the comments. The revised manuscript was accepted directly after resubmission. Personally, I think the manuscript is quite easy to be accepted. As long as it is submitted in accordance with the format, it is generally not directly rejected. 2020.11.20 submitted; 2020.11.22 Preliminary review; 2020.11.27 with editor, and it was sent for review on the same day; 2020.12.12 major revision. No deadline was given for revision, only as soon as possible, but a reminder was received in 2 weeks; 2020.12.27 resubmitted. There was a problem with the submission system, and it was clearly everything was uploaded, but they just failed once uploaded. Finally, I sent back the manuscript by email. The editor said that it was a holiday before 2021.01.04, and would contact me by email if there was any problem. 2021.1.4 accept.

This is the second submission to this journal. The first one: 2018.12.14 was submitted; 2019.1.3 review opinions returned requiring revision; 2019.1.10 major revision returned; 2019.1.14 accepted. The second one: 2020.10.15 submitted, 2020.11.9 review opinions returned; 2020.11.23 because of injuries, I delayed it for two weeks before resubmitted it; 2020.11.26 it is accepted today on Thanksgiving. Although it was just a small article, I was very happy that it was finally accepted along the way!

2020.03.24 Submission; 2020.05.06 The first review results returned. It may be so long because of the epidemic. There were a total of three reviewers, all were very nice, and they gave a total of more than 10 review comments. At last, the editor required an acceptance after minor revision. Thank you very much, for helping me solving the problem of eager to graduate. 2020.05.12 I returned the revised manuscript, and the editor sent it to the reviewer the next day. During the period, I was a little nervous and worried. 2020.05.25 accepted directly!!! To be honest, this is very efficient, and it might be faster if it were not for the epidemic.

Overall, CEC was very quick in terms of the review process, which was great. Our manuscript was accepted in less than a month, and the editor was very professional. My one negative comment is that the reviewers were somewhat unreasonable in their edits and comments (which was recognized by the editor).

After 1.30 in peer review, I kept switching between with editor and in peer review until 2.12 (3 times).... It's frustrating
