Round  1

Reviewer 1 Report

In this manuscript, Hu et al. present the development and performance testing of an ethanol vapor sensor based on a microfiber with CdSe/ZnS quantum-dots gel coating. This latter includes the bending, ethanol vapor sensing, temperature response, and time response tests. The manuscript is well-written, and experiments are carefully done and well documented. The topic of the manuscript fits the scope of the journal. I suggest acceptance of this manuscript after minor corrections. See comments below:

--- Information about CdSe/ZnS QDs (e.g. average diameter, core radius, outer shell thickness, etc.) should be included briefly in chapter 2, Sensor fabrication, even if the UV glue (NOA 61) based CdSe/ZnS QDs are commercial products.

--- Recent articles considering optical fiber sensors for ethanol detection should also be referenced in the introduction of the manuscript (suggestions: M. Hernaez, A. G. Mayes and S. Melendi-Espina, Graphene Oxide in Lossy Mode Resonance-Based Optical Fiber Sensors for Ethanol Detection, Sensors 2018, 18(1), 58.; T. T. Tung, M. J. Nine, M. Krebsz, T. Pasinszki, C. J. Coghlan, D. N. H. Tran, and D. Losic, Recent Advances in Sensing Applications of Graphene Assemblies and Their Composites. Adv. Funct. Mater. 2017, 27, 1702891).
