Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

·  Provide current–voltage (I–V) and current–time (I–t) curves under different light wavelengths and intensities to better analyze the optoelectronic behavior.

·  Present data for pure MnOx and pure GO samples to clearly isolate and understand the effect of the nanocomposite structure.

·  Improve the quality and clarity of all figures. For example, in Figure 2 (XRD results), add crystal plane orientations to better interpret the phase identification.

·  For XRD, SEM, and XPS figures, clearly label and discuss both composite samples (e.g., samples with 10% and 30% GO content).

·  Contextualize the results by comparing your findings with recent literature on MnOx/GO-based photodetectors. Discuss how your performance compares with previous studies in terms of sensitivity, stability, or wavelength range.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

The current manuscript reports the preparation of MnO2/GO composites and their potential applications in optoelectronic devices. In this work, the authors attempted to enhance the photophysical properties of MnO2 by adding a GO matrix. The obtained samples were characterized to obtain structural and morphological information. The samples were designed as a sensor to be useful in chemical and photoelectric signal detection. Overall, the manuscript is suitable for publication after the following revisions.

  1. The introduction part should contain details such as the importance of heterostructures in optoelectronic devices.
  2. Each data should be compared with that of bare MnO2 and MnO2/GO
  3. The detailed charge transfer or separation in MnO2?GO should be considered.
