一个多月后收到拒稿信，三个审稿人都是对文章的novelty提出了质疑。后老板联系了Nature Photonics主编，询问是否适合NP，主编同意投稿后在21年5月15日投稿至Nature Photonics，两天后收到编辑邮件，文章送外审，状态更新如下：

不幸的是三周后收到了编辑的拒稿信，一共四个审稿人，两个同意修改，两个拒稿，拒稿理由仍然是novelty，原因是材料没有新颖性。我们补充了大量实验数据并逐一回复了审稿意见，并在7月中旬发给编辑，准备appeal。一周后收到编辑回复，维持原判，在看到邮件的那一刻非常低落。老板觉得我们将一个简单体系扩充到了一个大的系统性工作，于是建议投稿Nature Materials试试，说实话当时已经准备投AM或者Joule了。于是在修改了cover letter后在7月29号投到了Nature Materials，没想到还不到24小时就收到了编辑邮件，文章送外审，状态如下：

9月2号收到审稿意见，两正一负，编辑给了修改机会。三个审稿人一共35个问题，期间也因疫情耽误了部分实验，审稿意见回复近10000字。在11月26号提交了修改稿，状态更新如下：

12月17号收到新一轮审稿意见，并且之前的编辑离职，更换了新的编辑。这轮意见中两个审稿人对回复意见很满意，同意接收，第一轮拒稿的审稿人仍然提出了一些问题，并要求我们做一些模拟实验。于是联系了相关领域专家，进行合作。期间赶上了国外的圣诞和国内的春节，耽搁了部分时间，最后在22年3月7号提交了修改稿，状态更新如下：

一周后收到编辑邮件(这时发现又换了一个编辑)，原则上接收稿件。第一个审稿人提了两个小问题，另外，编辑非常认真负责，对摘要进行了修改，并且对部分用词进行了建议，以及对论文图片的建议，并要求提交矢量图。五天后完成修改并提交，状态如下(在3月26号收到编辑邮件，要求重新修改部分图片和图注，并对一些描述进行了修正，编辑检查的非常仔细，修改后于3月28在系统上提交)：

没想到第二天收到编辑邮件，文章正式接收。从21年3月29日第一次投稿到22年3月29日论文正式接收，整整一年时间，只想说一切等待都是值得。总的来说，每次投稿后送审很快，非常顺利，但奈何创新性不断被质疑。论文也从最初的小规模到现在一整个庞大的体系，整个投稿过程也在不断的学习扩充，真心感谢每位审稿人的宝贵意见。
