The effects of charge build up in nanotechnology can be both beneficial and detrimental, depending on the application:
Device performance: In nanoelectronic devices, charge build up can influence the performance and reliability by affecting conductivity and switching behavior. Material stability: Charge accumulation can lead to electrostatic discharge (ESD), which can damage delicate nanostructures. Chemical reactivity: The presence of excess charges can alter the chemical reactivity of nanomaterials, impacting applications in catalysis and sensing.
