Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The Manuscript “Coupled biohydrogen production and bio-nanocatalysis for dual energy from cellulose: towards cellulosic waste upconversion into biofuels” requires revision before accepted for publication. The specific comments are given below.

  1. Remove the abbreviations from the abstract.
  2. It is worth mentioning the possibilities of biohydrogen production:

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2021.01.075

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2020.124304

  1. In the last paragraph of the introduction, clearly indicate the aim of the research and the research hypothesis.
  2. How long was a run-up of the digestion process? Describe what parameters were stabilized during this time.
  3. Please indicate the manufacturer, city, country when mentioning the equipment.
  4. Statistical analyzes are very important in research manuscripts. How were the normality of the distribution and the differences between the variables found?
  5. How many repetitions of the test were performed? 8. Add standard deviations to the results.
  6. Please present the correlation results on the appropriate figures to enrich the quality of the manuscript.
  7. Extend your conclusions with the most important results (numerical values).
  8. Refresh literature. Very few references to the latest research (2018-2022).
