Carbon-Based Materials for the Development of Highly Dispersed Metal Catalysts: Towards Highly Performant Catalysts for Fine Chemical Synthesis

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This review paper entitled "Carbon-based materials in the development of highly dispersed metal catalysts. Towards highly performant catalysts for fine chemical synthesis" describes the utilization of various carbon-based supports for the preparation of single atom metal catalysts by various chemical and physical synthetic techniques for the green synthesis of fine chemicals. 

This review paper certainly highlights broadly the use of single atom catalysts on carbon-based supports for fine chemical synthesis. 

Title suggestions: "Carbon-based materials for the development of highly dispersed metal catalysts: Towards highly performant catalysts for green fine chemical synthesis"

The impact of the paper can be improved with extensive editing for grammatical mistakes.

Author Response

Thanks a lot for your comments and suggestions.

Accordingly, the title of the manuscript has been changed as suggested and the english language has been also edited and improved.

Reviewer 2 Report

I have carefully read the manuscript proposed by Pérez-Mayoral, Ines Matos and coauthors.

As stated by the authors the manuscript is focused on "summarize the most recent advances in terms of both synthetic strategies of producing porous  carbon-derived single-atom catalysts" as well as "its application to green synthesis of highly valuable compounds".

Overall I think that the proposed topic  is interesting and its development as a review is acceptable, I have no relevant and substantial criticisms to make to the authors.

For these reasons, I believe that the manuscript is suitable for publication in the present form.
