The agglomeration of nanoparticles can have both beneficial and detrimental effects. On the positive side, it can be useful in certain applications like catalysis where clusters of nanoparticles can enhance activity. However, in most cases, agglomeration negatively impacts properties such as dispersion stability, surface area, and reactivity. It can also hinder the effective use of nanoparticles in drug delivery, electronics, and coatings.
