Response: We highly appreciate the reviewer’s positive response on our manuscript.

Reviewer 2 Report

This manuscript needs following modifications,

  1. There are other reports on this topic and authors should provide a table comparing the performance of this study with other reports and discuss about the novelty of this study. One example: https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.8b02130
  2. Clear SEM and TEM images must be provided.
  3. XPS study should be performed to be certain about the chemical composition of the material.

Reviewer 3 Report

  • General : Please check the grammatical errors, wherever required. English needs to be refined/polished.
    1. There are spelling mistakes here and there. Please carefully edit.
  • General: Authors are requested to unify the font usage throughout the manuscript.
  • General: Symbols are in a different font.
  • General: Take care of equations
  • Abstract: change the premise to promise. Few sentences need clarity. Please revisit Abstract once again.
  • Introduction: I suggest the authors to cite relevant articles pertaining to mixed-phase TiO2 (Nanomaterials 10 (3), 456, 2020, Catalysts 9 (2), 170, 2019, Materials Chemistry and Physics 154, 125-136, 2015).
    1. Change consisting with to “consisting of”
  • 2(a): Include discussions pertaining to ID/IG ratio
  • 2(b): XRD graph is not very clear.
  • Fix this sentence: “We thus take use of Tauc plots”.
    1. Identify other similar occurrences and correct the same.
  • If possible, provide survey and core-level XPS data for R-TNT/A-TNP and A-TNP.
