[交流] 这样的修改意见是积极的吗?已有2人参与

各位虫友大家好啊:
   这次投了一篇文章到NEW journal of chemistry,终于等到了消息,但我总感觉到凶多吉少,以前也碰见过大修的状况,但感觉都不如这一次更严峻,小弟只有求助各位大侠了,看看是个什么情况,毕竟我现在在准备十月9号的雅思考试,肯定没那多精力搞论文了,但是这也是我放的心血最多的一篇论文了,小弟拜谢各位了:
以下是修改意见,貌似第一个审稿人就直接拒掉了
In view of the criticisms of the reviewers, I must decline the manuscript for publication in New Journal of Chemistry at this time.  However, a new manuscript may be submitted which takes into consideration these comments and which resolves the problems raised by the reviewers.

Please note that resubmitting your manuscript does not guarantee eventual acceptance, and that your resubmission will be subject to re-review by the reviewers before a decision is taken.

Comments to the Author
The manuscript describes a facile, environmentally friendly hydrothermal route with tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as surfactant to prepare PbS macrostructures. The morphology of the final product can be easily controlled by changing the reaction parameters. Furthermore, the proposed formation mechanism and optical property of the PbS macrostructures are also presented. Unfortunately, there are still left many unclear questions in the manuscript. In addition, the contents of the manuscript lack novelty, logicality and significance. Specifically, there are some technical problems as listed below.

(1)        The language is OK but still needs some improvement. There are also some spelling errors, such as Page 7: line 3“CBAB”; Page 10: last line “PS”; Page 16: line 8“smoot”.  

(2)        The authors claimed that the biggest advantage is to use TBAB as surfactant, and it has similar chemical structure with CTAB. So what’s the difference between them on manipulating the morphology of PbS crystals? Please cite reference or discuss about it.

(3)        As shown in Figure 2e, many nanocubes are observed through the magnified TEM image. Why these nanoparticles could exist? The authors just said that they prepared two different products from the same reaction process instead of explaining the reason and the reaction process is not reasonable.

(4)        Page 10: line 25“……as shown in Figure 5e.” The curve and labeling isn't matching in Figure 5.

(5)        The manuscript emphasizes on the adsorption and sustained release of S2+ by TBAB. However, the explanation of molecular structure is not clear in Figure 8.  Even the chemical reaction equation can't explain how TBAB release of S2+?

In conclusion, this manuscript does not reach the standard of New Journal of Chemistry. I do not recommend it for publication in New Journal of Chemistry.

Comments to the Author
The manuscript describes the synthesis of hierarchical structures of PbS by employing a hydrothermal method. A surfactant, TBAB is used for sustained release of sulfide ions, which the authors claim to be crucial for the control of material architecture. The reaction product is analyzed by various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. Authors varied the TBAB concentrations and other experimental parameters systematically and investigated its effect on morphology. The product morphology is not very attractive and there are many reports in the literature showing better control of morphology. The prospect of encasing H2S inside the precursor is interesting, and should be pursued by experimental verification. Therefore this part should be more convincingly stated. The important point in the article is the role of different reactants and the growth mechanism. The following questions should be more clearly addressed:

1.         Why branching takes place at certain concentrations? What is the role of surfactant in branching?
2.        How can the size of the product be reduced in order to obtain nanostructures?
3.        If possible, a schematic should be provided to illustrate the growth mechanism.
4.        The optical properties are rather preliminary and are not relevant to the study and therefore should be removed.

There are several careless mistakes such as CTAB should be TBAB in line 3 of the section ‘effect of TBAB’. The manuscript should be accepted upon suitable modification by the authors.

哦,感觉这次的情况不太一样吧,前两次大修无非是增加实验什么的,还好说,这次指出的很多是比较尖锐的理论性问题,说真的,我看了之后是信心不足的,而且第一个审稿人的建议干脆就是拒掉了。哎,我也烦呢,要考雅思,要找工作,偏偏又不舍得放弃这个论文

可是毕竟人家给你机会了,那就说明有机会呀,不是吗?自己的心血当然不舍得放弃的啦,那既然有机会,就珍惜咯,慢慢改吧,编辑给你的期限是什么时候呀?根据时间安排下嘛
