For flexible organic solar cells it is decisive to withstand mechanical loading without sacrificing the performance. Silver nanowire (Ag NW) networks are a highly promising electrode material, since they combine a low sheet resistance with a high transmittance, however the interplay between microscopic failure mechanisms and the functional properties of electrodes in complete OSCs has not been elucidated so far. In this work we introduce a scale-bridging in situ approach to correlate the mechanical response of Ag NW electrodes with their electrical properties starting from single wires up to complete solar cell devices. On the nanometer scale in situ STEM tensile tests of single 5-fold twinned Ag NWs reveal a localized deformation by necking and a clear size-dependence of the mechanical properties. Going up in scale, Ag NW networks on PET foils were tested by in operado SEM tensile tests. These tests show a clear dependency of the wire orientation regarding the straining direction. Buckling as well as kinking as deformation mechanism were observed for wires perpendicular to the straining direction. Moreover, the texture can be utilized to increase the conductivity at 20 % up to nine times. The phenome of kinking is analyzed via HRTEM and complementary atomistic simulation.
