Potentially, but it would be easy for drone manufacturers to defend against, and you would likely need to make the target area so dense with the particulate that it probably wouldn't stay in the air long and the drone could potentially wait you out. The other direction you could possibly go is a super-fine, but conductive powder (would carbon powder work?) that could get in the motors and potentially cause a short. Particulates that fine would probably be a health risk though.

To cause a short you would need to be able to get inside the motor and nowdays you can buy fully sealed IP68 brushless motors (or even IP69K at a higher cost) for your attack drones. Just as a side note, as long as your elemental carbon nanoparticles are larger than 10PM (most recommend 2.5PM) they are not considered damaging to health by the WHO [1].

Of course, the attacking drones are also a health risk...
