Temperature-induced instability is a common issue in nanotechnology. High temperatures can accelerate processes like sintering, where nanoparticles coalesce, reducing their surface area and altering their properties. Ostwald ripening, another temperature-dependent process, involves the growth of larger particles at the expense of smaller ones. To counteract these effects, thermal stabilization strategies, such as alloying or embedding nanoparticles in a matrix, are often employed.
