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 …
