Cost
But is it economical? Will it work in rough seas? What would a test look like, and how much would that cost? As tragic and repellent as oil spills and their results are, it will cost money to clean them up, and I do not trust the oil majors to do that work. Who is willing to do the real-world testing this requires to be commercially viable?

An Intriguing Idea
My only concern would be the long term impact of wild nanoparticles in the environment. If they have some sort of carcinogenic effect or some other untoward effect on living organisms, then it would be unsupportable in my perspective. But if these nanoparticles have no negative impact, then lets give it a try and see how well it performs versus other competing methodologies.
