Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The manuscript can be accepted with minor revisions.
1) In the introduction part, explain briefly why metal oxide is needed for electrical contact . Is Ag alone not enough? Can metal oxide be replaced with other materials?  
2) Make it more clear on the Y2O3 powder preparation. For example 1:33 and 1:133 ratios can obtain the particle size in between 200 to 400 nm. Or, please state clearly in section 3.1 that the powder with 243, 387, 792 and 980 nm belong to which ratio?
3) 243 nm shows the best performance. Do you think if you go to a smaller size than 243 nm would the results will be better?
4) How are you going to optimize the perfect average size for the Y2O3?
