Executive Summary

An exceptionally rigorous experimental study. The certified 31.4% stabilized efficiency and 140-device statistical distribution set a high benchmark for wide-bandgap perovskite passivation.

Constructive Scientific Evaluation & Revision Requests

Please include the forward-to-reverse J-V hysteresis index distribution across the 140 devices in Supplementary Table S2 and clarify the exact relative humidity during the ISOS-L-2 chamber test.
