Low-temperature liquid platinum catalyst

Non-wettable/wettable coatings floating on liquid metal marbles for anti-combination, reversible conductivity transformation and magnetic motion in solution

“…And the functional outer layers realize the reversible conductivity transformation and magnetic motion of LMs marbles. In addition, from the perspective of the functional properties of the surface of LMs marbles themselves, such as the platinum catalysis, 19 the interfacial bismuth precipitation on the surface of LMs, 20 such eclectic or magnetic field induced reversible spreading and closing of the coatings should be beneficial for their processes control and protect internal functional materials in the non-working state.…”

Recent progress of Ga-based liquid metals in catalysis

“…Platinum powder or nanoparticles in an inert gas atmosphere (in the case of the generation of oxidation layers) can be mechanically integrated with liquid metal Ga or Ga alloys (EGaIn or Galinstan) with no Pt–Pt bonding or Pt clustering observed. 59 Unique properties determine the formation of Pt SAC. There is a solubility range for virtually all precious metals and transition metals in liquid Ga.…”

A Short History of Fusible Metals and Alloys – Towards Room Temperature Liquid Metals

“…This realizes lower reaction temperature, avoidance of back reaction, and lowering of product contamination [187b] . Regarding catalysis, the group of Kalantar‐Zadeh showed just recently that a liquid alloy of Ga and Pt exhibits significantly enhanced catalytic activity than the solid Pt metal for the electrochemical methanol oxidation [188] …”

“…[187b] Regarding catalysis, the group of Kalantar-Zadeh showed just recently that a liquid alloy of Ga and Pt exhibits significantly enhanced catalytic activity than the solid Pt metal for the electrochemical methanol oxidation. [188] Zavabeti et al [189] showed that liquid metals could be exploited as a reaction environment to generate atomically thin (2D) metal oxides. Since this discovery, scientists have exploited the reactivity of liquid metals and its environment for the synthesis of (noble) metal-nanoparticle decorated liquid metal droplets, Janus droplets/egg yolk nanoparticles, and polymercoated liquid metal droplets.…”
