- Above the correction and language has been corrected by the English expert as per the reviewer comment with track changes mode in the revised manuscript.
Reviewer 2 Report
The main drawback of this paper is poor method part, as now in some cases is not clear amount, proportions of some reagents, temperatures and so on. For exapmle, what kind of heat was used for synthesis of CuNPC? How were samples prepared for all spectroscopic tests?
The company and country of all reagents and equipments should be provided.
Use symbol of degree (not zero) for temperature.
Line 132 - probably mg (not gm).
Latin names in keywords should be in italic.
Clarify/add axis titles in all figures in supplementary file.
Provide relative standard deviation for the data in tables.
