Editor and Reviewer comments:    



Reviewer #1: This reviewer is satisfied with the changes made by the authors.

Just check the following:

- Abstract: Expression "…mainly as protons (hydroxyls)." To avoid confusion of protons and hydroxyls, why not write: "…high content of hydrogen, present mainly in hydroxyls in the upper part…" ?

- The paper should indicate the origin/provider of the Ce samples.

- Instead of "hr" use "hours".

- In the figures, use a), etc, instead of a/, etc.

- Page 14, last 3 lines: "rather stoichiometric oxide layer"
