Coating of gallium-based liquid metal particles with molybdenum oxide and oxysulfide for electronic band structure modulation

“…The GaOOH is produced as the result of Ga 0 oxidation by surrounding precursors (eqn (1)). The Mo 7 O 24 6− precursor ions undergo redox and non-redox reactions (eqn ( 2) and ( 3), respectively) simultaneously resulting in the creation of MoO 2 and MoO 3 , or the stoichiometry between these two, which are collectively described as MoO x . In the case of MoO x S y deposition, both redox and non-redox reactions of MoS 4 2− precursor ions (eqn (4) and ( 5), respectively) occur at the interface, leading to the deposition of MoS 2 and MoS 3 , respectively, or the stoichiometry between these two, which are collectively described as MoS y .…”

“…Specifically, gallium and its alloys in liquid form hold intriguing properties and could be utilised in various applications. [1][2][3][4][5][6] They can serve as unique electron-rich metallic media that offer suitable environments for fast reactions with other metallic entities, not possible for other liquids and also solid entities. At the interface, the naturally reactive and atomically smooth surfaces serve as an ideal area for templating thin films and two-dimensional materials.…”

Current Status and Outlook of Low‐Melting‐Point Metals in Biomedical Applications

“…Later, Chathuranga et al employed a solution mixing technique followed by vacuum filtration to fabricate GO/Galinstan composite films, which exhibited enhanced through-plane thermal conductivity and flame resistance. [217] The through-plane thermal conductivities of GO and GO/LM films were assessed using the laser flash method at 25 °C, and the findings are illustrated in Figure 10d. The pristine GO film displayed a thermal conductivity of 0.01 W m −1 K −1 .…”

Enhancing wear resistance and mechanical property of epoxy coating via “roller wheel” liquid metal‐MXene

“…Previous studies have explored the incorporation of LM into materials through impregnation and vacuum filtration methods. 16,17 Directly coating or filling the gaps between materials with LM can be used to achieve a uniform and controllable fusion of LM with the polymer matrix. [18][19][20] Furthermore, it is possible to regulate the properties of composite materials by introducing 2D material precursors onto the surface of LM through chemical deposition and utilizing LM as a reducing agent for interface reactions with the materials.…”

“…Therefore, it is possible to utilize MXene in combination with LM to enhance the tribological and mechanical properties of the polymer composites synergistically. Previous studies have explored the incorporation of LM into materials through impregnation and vacuum filtration methods 16,17 . Directly coating or filling the gaps between materials with LM can be used to achieve a uniform and controllable fusion of LM with the polymer matrix 18–20 .…”
