Insights into the formation and the structure of colloidal aggregates are essential in many fields of science and engineering. Especially, controllability of aggregate structure with adjusting the experimental conditions is very important in fabricating nanoparticle catalysts which can be applied to energy systems like nanofluids, fuel cell and solar cell. In this work, 3D off lattice Monte Carlo simulation was implemented to irreversible cluster-cluster aggregations in the diluted system for different sticking probabilities which determine aggregation kinetics and structure. Firstly, DLCA regime (P<SUB>ij</SUB>=1) and RLCA regime (P<SUB>ij</SUB>=0.05) were simulated to validate the code, and the fractal dimensions for two regimes were obtained 1.8 and 2.1 respectively, which are in good agreement to the previous researches. The structure and kinetics of the aggregates were studied for different sticking probabilities.
