Cover Feature: Oxide Interface of Gallium‐Based Liquid Metals: Beneficial Bridge or Hidden Risk? (ChemistryEurope 2/2026)

The Cover Feature highlights gallium-based liquid metals, where the formation of a gallium oxide interfacial layer gives rise to both a “bright” side and a “showdown” side. Acting as a double-edged sword, these interfaces endow the material with enhanced properties and expanded functionalities, while simultaneously introducing potential risks and limitations. More information can be found in the Perspective by X. Hou and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/ceur.202500295).

Abstract

The Cover Feature highlights gallium-based liquid metals, where the formation of a gallium oxide interfacial layer gives rise to both a “bright” side and a “showdown” side. Acting as a double-edged sword, these interfaces endow the material with enhanced properties and expanded functionalities, while simultaneously introducing potential risks and limitations. More information can be found in the Perspective by X. Hou and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/ceur.202500295).
