液态金属复合材料:最新进展和应用

摘要: 液态金属,由于其在室温下保持液态的能力,使其在电子、储能、医学和机器人技术方面的应用非常广泛。在各种液态金属中,Ga基液态金属具有最小的细胞毒性、低粘度、高导热和导电性以及优异的润湿性。因此,Ga基液态金属复合材料已成为近年来的研究热点。其最近的进展集中在新的制造技术和应用上,包括能源存储、柔性电子和生物医学设备。特别值得注意的是可穿戴传感器和电子皮肤的发展,这为医疗监测和人机界面带来了希望。尽管它们具有潜力,但仍然存在诸如氧化易感性和生物相容性等挑战。在探索优化液态金属复合材料性能和扩大其应用领域的新途径的同时,创造生物基液态金属复合材料是解决这些问题的一个有前景的方法。本文简要概述了液态金属复合材料研究的最新趋势,强调了它们的变革性影响,并概述了未来研究和发展的关键方向。

 

Liquid metal composites: Recent advances and applications

Abstract: Liquid metals (LMs), because of their ability to remain in a liquid state at room temperature, render them highly versatile for applications in electronics, energy storage, medicine, and robotics. Among various LMs, Ga-based LMs exhibit minimal cytotoxicity, low viscosity, high thermal and electrical conductivities, and excellent wettability. Therefore, Ga-based LM composites (LMCs) have emerged as a recent research focus. Recent advancements have focused on novel fabrication techniques and applications spanning energy storage, flexible electronics, and biomedical devices. Particularly noteworthy are the developments in wearable sensors and electronic skins, which hold promise for healthcare monitoring and human–machine interfaces. Despite their potential, challenges, such as oxidative susceptibility and biocompatibility, remain. Creating bio-based LMC materials is a promising approach to address these issues while exploring new avenues to optimize LMC performance and broaden its application domains. This review provides a concise overview of the recent trends in LMC research, highlights their transformative impacts, and outlines key directions for future investigation and development.
