Herein, we propose a Physics-informed Graph Diffusion Model that injects the physical laws governing TCE conduction into deep learning as an inductive bias. From a single scanning electron micrograph, we construct a topology graph and predict the sheet resistance, Rs. A physics-informed GIN encoder, pretrained on a resistor-network-derived conductance label, provides a robust cold-start representation; a target-posterior diffusion model then supplies a calibrated per-prediction uncertainty rather than performing latent manifold augmentation. The encoder is trained on a multisource graph data set that fuses synthetic percolation models with real SEM micrographs of AgNW films at three sheet-resistance levels, augmented by an external continuous-Rs data set. Under a leakage-free, group-aware evaluation, the two-stage model predicts Rs with a relative error of 7.27% (R2 = 0.840) while delivering calibrated uncertainty (empirical 1\u03c3\/2\u03c3 coverage of 63.6%\/92.4% versus the nominal 68.3%\/95.4%). Film-scale-level validation across the three held-out film-scale groups (the held-out in-house film at both fields of view plus one held-out external film) gives 6.21% \u00b1 4.66% (mean \u00b1 std), and a stricter leave-one-film-out protocol over the three in-house films gives a 5.51% mean (4.75\/7.72\/4.06%). The diffusion module\u2019s distinctive contribution is calibrated uncertainty quantification; its point accuracy is statistically indistinguishable from a no-diffusion baseline. Requiring only 108k parameters and trained on 13 source SEM images, the model matches strong graph baselines while uniquely supplying calibrated prediction intervals for industrial TCE inspection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsomega.6c06271","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]],"date-time":"2026-09-03T12:08:46Z","timestamp":1788437326000},"page":"54465-54475","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Physics-Informed\nGraph Diffusion Model for Cross-Scale\nPerformance Prediction of Silver Nanowire Percolation Networks"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Wei","family":"Xiong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Open University , , , ,","place":["Wuhan, Hubei, China, 430074"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xun","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huazhong University of Science and Technology , , , ,","place":["Wuhan, Hubei, China, 430074"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huazhong University of Science and Technology , , , ,","place":["Wuhan, Hubei, China, 430074"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haibo","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Huake-Tek Co., Ltd. , , , ,","place":["Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, 518100"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiping","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Huake-Tek Co., Ltd. , , , ,","place":["Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, 518100"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xi","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Open University , , , ,","place":["Wuhan, Hubei, China, 430074"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Lyu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Open University , , , ,","place":["Wuhan, Hubei, China, 430074"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3143-746X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Bin","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huazhong University of Science and Technology , , , ,","place":["Wuhan, Hubei, China, 430074"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026091510105833100_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1482","DOI":"10.1002\/adma.201003188","article-title":"Emerging transparent electrodes based on thin films\nof carbon nanotubes, graphene, and metallic nanostructures","volume":"23","author":"Hecht","year":"2011","journal-title":"Adv.
