Executive Summary

The XPS and GIWAXS characterization convincingly proves that the zwitterionic dipole suppresses halide segregation without forming an insulating 2D barrier.

Constructive Scientific Evaluation & Revision Requests

In Section 2, please report the uncertainty bounds on the Arrhenius activation energy fit (0.64 ± 0.04 eV) from temperature-dependent conductivity measurements.
