Gallium-based (Ga-based) liquid metals have attracted considerable interest due to their low melting points, enabling them to feature both liquid properties and metallic properties at room temperature.
This phenomenon is often referred to as "liquid metal embrittlement”, where a metal loses its ductility and strength when a liquid metal like galium infiltrates the grain structures of metals like aluminum becoming brittle and prone to failure. Gallium's ability to cause embrittlement is what leads people to say it “destroys” metals like aluminum.
Ga-Based Liquid Metal Batteries. Beside alkali metals, Ga metal and Ga-based alloys, such as Ga In alloy, − also have a relatively low melting point.
A liquid metal battery is a cell containing liquid metal electrodes.
