Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This manuscript describes the excimer laser deposition of Na2/3Ni1/4Mn3/4O2 layered cathode for sodium-ion batteries. Overall, the thin film strategy introduced in this manuscript benefits scientific society, making this manuscript publishable to this journal. However, I found that the following comments are necessary to improve the scientific value of this manuscript:

1. This manuscript controls the partial pressure of oxygen gas during the deposition. The highest performances were obtained for the highest partial pressure of 65 Pa; this necessitates further investigation at increased partial pressure to see if further enhancement is possible there.  

2. The manuscript requires English editing service; there is a grammatical error from the first sentence of the abstract. 

3. Conclusion part needs improved structure; for example the first sentence of the present conclusion is not adequate for the opening of the paragraph.
