补充实验，但是无法完成
- We agree with the reviewer that further elaborating on this point using new data would be helpful. However, we believe that expanding our dataset is neither feasible, given the costs involved, nor would significantly support our argument.

- We appreciate the reviewer’s insightful suggestion and agree that it would be useful to demonstrate that…; however, such an analysis is beyond the scope of our paper, which aims only to show that…. Nevertheless, we recognize this limitation should be mentioned in the paper, so we added the following sentence…
- …was not the scope of this study. Keeping the reviewer’s comment in mind, we prefer to quantify this effect using the model system in our following works.
- 做这个实验。如果实验结果能说明问题，则要把结果补充到论文中。反之，要展示、分析数据，告知审稿人已做此实验，但没有得到有价值的结果，并阐明原因。
- 如果实验条件或者客观条件不允许。We agree that more studies would be useful to understand the details of interaction and enhancement. At this point, we do not have the necessary tool-set to study the ___. We hope, in the future, to employ ___ techniques to determine ___. This study is beyond the scope of this report which focuses on answering critical questions regarding the ___. We note also that since submission of our manuscript there has been a publication by Alex Bell and Martin Head-Gordon at Berkeley showing that Fe on Au2O3 has enhanced OER activity with DFT calculations (Ref. 79). We have added this citation and reference to the manuscript.
