Background:

Metallic nanowires (NWs) are promising for flexible transparent electrodes, an alternative to thin-film oxides.
Cross-aligned NW arrangements show better optoelectrical performance than random ones, but reasons are unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

To numerically investigate the performance differences between cross-aligned and random NW networks.
To identify key factors influencing electrical conductivity and homogeneity in NW electrodes.

Main Methods:

Extensive numerical simulations comparing cross-aligned and random NW arrangements.
Analysis of percolative behavior, electrical conductivity, and electrical homogeneity.
Investigation across a wide range of NW densities.

Main Results:

Percolation threshold is not lower in cross-aligned arrangements.
Topology alone doesn't explain performance advantages.
Junction resistance (Rj) is the key parameter, ~20% lower in cross-aligned NWs.
NW assembly strategies improve spatial homogeneity.

Conclusions:

Lower junction resistance and enhanced spatial homogeneity are critical for superior performance of cross-aligned NW electrodes.
Findings challenge common assumptions about percolation thresholds in NW networks.
Optimized assembly strategies are crucial for high-performance flexible transparent electrodes.
