We addressed this issue by isolating defective octahedra at the perovskite surface using a vapor-deposited polydentate ligand. Surface octahedra isolation suppresses ion migration into the charge transport layer and reduces surface ionic defects, modulating the kinetics of ion migration during light-dark cycles. Our 785-square-centimeter industrial-scale perovskite solar modules achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.6%. Our modules demonstrated enhanced diurnal stability, retaining more than 97% of their initial PCE even after 101 light-dark cycles at 50°C. Our perovskite modules maintained stable power output during 45 days of outdoor operation under severe summer conditions, exhibiting stability comparable with that of the reference silicon cell.</div>","PeriodicalId":21678,"journal":{"name":"Science","volume":"388 6750","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144176532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some emotions appear and fade away in seconds or minutes, whereas others linger for longer. Acute fear might dissipate quickly upon escape to safety or could transform into enduring anxiety. The grief caused by bereavement may persist for even longer, affecting an individual for many months. Whether fleeting or lasting, emotions influence perceptions, behavior, and decisions well beyond the experience that set them in motion. Yet very little is known about how the brain holds onto these internal states. Explaining the biological basis of their enduring nature is crucial for building a mechanistic understanding of emotion. On page 933 of this issue, Kauvar <i>et al</i>.
