Neural Network Surrogate Model for Fast Prediction of Sheet Resistance and Transmittance in Polymer-Coated Silver Nanowire Electrodes
Abstract: Hybrid transparent electrodes that combine silver nanowire (AgNW) networks with conductive PEDOT:PSS overcoats are promising replacements for indium tin oxide in flexible solar cells, but their design requires balancing sheet resistance (Rs) against transmittance (T). Physics-based percolation simulations capture this trade-off but are too slow for large design searches. We present a neural-network surrogate trained on 3,000 Latin-hypercube designs from a Monte Carlo resistor-network simulator in which the polymer acts …

Semiconducting Materials for Emerging Electronics and Technological Applications
Abstract: Semiconducting materials are important for emerging electronic and photovoltaic technologies because their structural, optical and electrical properties can be tailored for specific device applications. In this study, a TiO₂-based composite photoanode is considered as a polymer-assisted semiconducting thin-film system in which inorganic TiO₂ nanoparticles are processed with organic film-forming components to produce a porous layer for dye-sensitised solar cell application. Nanocrystalline TiO₂ nanoparticles were synthesised from titanium isopropoxide using a …
