What Challenges Are Associated with Increased Surface Area?
Despite the numerous advantages, there are challenges associated with increased surface area in nanotechnology. One major issue is the agglomeration of nanoparticles, where they tend to clump together, reducing their effective surface area and reactivity. Additionally, the high reactivity of nanoparticles can sometimes lead to unwanted side reactions or instability. Proper surface engineering and stabilization techniques are required to overcome these challenges and harness the full potential of increased surface area.
