Liquid metals are emerging as fluidic inorganic materials in various research fields. Micro‐ and nanoparticles of Ga and its alloys have received particular attention in the last decade due to their non toxicity and accessibility in ambient conditions as well as their interesting chemical, physical, mechanical, and electrical properties. Unique features such as a fluidic nature and self‐passivating oxide skin make Ga‐based liquid metal particles (LMPs) distinguishable from conventional inorganic particles in the context of synthesis and applications. Here, recent advances in the bottom‐up and top‐down synthetic methods of Ga‐based LMPs, their physicochemical properties, and their applications are summarized. Finally, the current status of the LMPs is highlighted and perspectives on future directions are also provided.

“…By modifying the electronic structure, the catalytic properties of supported LM catalysts could be altered. A specific category of the supported LM catalysts, which includes but is not limited to, gallium‐rich Pd‐Ga LM catalysts, Pt‐Ga bimetallic catalysts, Ni‐Ga catalysts, and Ag/Au‐GaInSn catalysts, were applied in many chemical reactions, including butane or propane dehydrogenation, carbon dioxide reduction to methanol, methanol steam reforming, and degradation of methylene blue …”

Among the significant growths of liquid metal (LM) research achieved over the past few years, the field of LM as catalysts offers promising opportunities for material scientists to exploit, and thus, burgeoning progress has been made. This article presents an overview of recent progress in developing LM catalysis, which spans from liquid-phase catalysts, photocatalysts, heterogeneous catalysts, and bimetallic catalysts, to catalysts based on liquid-metal/metal-oxide (LM/MO) frameworks. The different types, preparation methods, and typical applications of LM catalysts are classified and reviewed. Typical catalytic applications of LM systems discussed include the growth of graphene films/nanoribbons/carbon nanotube, photocatalytic degradation of CR or PFOA/splitting of H O/reduction of CO , and catalytic reactions like butane or acetylene dehydrogenation, methanol steam reforming, and reduction of potassium ferricyanide. The prospects, future trends, and challenges of LM catalysts are also mentioned.

“…One effective way reported is to ameliorate the aluminum through alloy treatment. [155] Besides, the existence of the native oxide on the surface endows the liquid metal with a better photocatalytic ability which could be improved by the incorporation of additional Ga 2 O 3 . [143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151][152] Another application reported recently is to form an active catalyst with Pb for alkane dehydrogenation.…”

As new generation functional materials, the recently emerging low-melting liquid metals have displayed many unconventional properties superior to traditional materials. Various methods, such as alloying, oxidizing, adding metals, or non-metallic materials and so on, have been developed to prepare desirable functional materials based on the gallium or more other metals. These methods could not only change the form of the materials, but also endow the original liquid metals with rather diversified performances, which have further expanded the application range of the low-melting liquid metals to meet various needs. This article aims to review and summarize on the fabrication methods, characteristics, and applications of the functional liquid metal materials. Furthermore, the future outlook in this field, including challenges, routes, and related efforts, has also been illustrated and interpreted.
