thermal runaway

What Causes Thermal Runaway in Nanotechnology?

Several factors can contribute to thermal runaway in nanotechnology components:
High Power Density: Nanoscale devices often operate at high power densities, leading to significant heat generation in a small volume.
Poor Heat Dissipation: Due to their size, nanoparticles and nanodevices may have limited pathways for heat dissipation.
Chemical Reactions: Exothermic reactions involving nanoparticles can rapidly increase temperature, further accelerating reaction rates.
Electrical Currents: High currents in nanoscale electronics can generate substantial heat due to resistive losses.
