Sculpting liquid metal stabilized interfaces: a gateway to liquid electronics

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: -TA network at the liquid-liquid interface could structure liquid in liquid by jamming the interfacial film. The surface coverage of the droplet largely depends on the concentration of metal ions, oxidation state of metal ions and pH of the surrounding environment. Further extending the approach, we demonstrated that TA-functionalized gallium nanoparticles (Ga NPs) can also sculpt liquid droplets in the presence of transition metal ions. Finally, a mold-based free-standing 3D architecture is obtained using the interfacial reaction and interfacial crowding of a metal-phenolate network. Conductivity measurement reveals that these liquid constructs can be used for low-voltage electronic applications, thus opening the door for liquid electronics.
