Extracting the Temperature Dependence of Both Nanowire Resistivity and Junction Resistance from Electrical Measurements on Printed Silver Nanowire Networks.

ABSTRACT: Printed networks of nanoparticles (e.g., nanodots, nanowires, nanosheets) are important for a range of electronic, sensing and energy storage applications. Characterizing the temperature dependence of both the nanoparticle resistivity (ρ_NW) and interparticle junction resistance (R _J) in such networks is crucial for understanding the conduction mechanism and so for optimizing network properties. However, it is challenging to extract both ρ_NW and R _J from standard electrical measurements. Here, using silver nanowires (AgNWs) as a model system, we describe a broadly applicable method to extract both parameters from resistivity measurements on nanowire networks. We achieve this by combining a simple theoretical model with temperature-de
