C1 chemistry synthesis using yttrium-stabilized zirconia catalyst: a review

Submitted to the Journal of Rare Earths

1. Review opinion: C1 chemistry based on synthesis gas, methane, and carbon dioxide offers
many routes to industrial chemicals. In this paper, the authors reviewed the remarkable
investigations on YSZ catalyst application for C1 chemistry. I recommended it to be
published soon
Answer:
Thank you for the reviewer efforts for reviewing this manuscript.

4. Please add no more than eight key words

Answer:
Thank you. We put the keywords in the revised manuscript.

5. Please polish the English throughout the paper. Make sure that past tense is used in
abstract and conclusion.
Answer:
Thank you for the comment and the suggestion. In some parts, we prefer to keep the style
of writing in the present form as the activity is still being conducted until now (probably also
in the future). However, we also follow the suggestion by changing some the sentences
 which should be in the past form. Thank you for the suggestion.

6. Please send me the copyright transfer form after all the authors signed it. The manuscript
number of your paper is 07-05-35.
Answer:
In the email attachment, we also include the form of authorship transfer. Unfortunately, I am
now staying in Italy for some collaboration projects between us and the University of Torino,
so I was not able to collect all of the author signatures. However, I can guarantee here that
there will be no further problem related with this submission as I am the one who
responsible in this case.
