液态金属(LMS)由于具有室温流动性和金属导电性/热导性的独特组合，在可拉伸电子设备、可穿戴设备和软机器人中具有引人注目的应用。添加金属元素可以制备出形态、表面能、流变性、导电性/热导性和化学反应性等性能不同的异相(即固态和液态)LMS。重要的是，异相LMS可以对磁场、温度和力等外部刺激做出反应。因此，异相LMS具有广阔的应用前景。本文综述了元素周期表中金属元素异相LMS的研究进展，并讨论了它们的功能。根据异相分子膜的特点和应用，将其系统地分为四类，包括导电性/热导性、磁性、催化/能量管理和生物医学应用。这次全面审查的目的是帮助总结这一领域，并为今后的研究确定新的机会。
Liquid metals (LMs) have compelling applications in stretchable electronics, wearable devices, and soft robotics ascribing to the unique combination of room temperature fluidity and metallic electrical/thermal conductivity. Adding metallic elements in gallium‐based LMs can produce heterophasic (i.e., solid and liquid) LMs with altered properties including morphology, surface energy, rheology, electrical/thermal conductivity, and chemical reactivity. Importantly, heterophasic LMs can respond to external stimuli such as magnetic fields, temperature, and force. Thus, heterophasic LMs can broaden the potential applications of LMs. This report reviews the recent progress about heterophasic LMs through metallic elements in the periodic table and discusses their functionalities. The heterophasic LMs are systematically organized into four categories based on their features and applications including electrical/thermal conductivity, magnetic property, catalysis/energy management, and biomedical applications. This comprehensive review is aimed to help summarize the field and identify new opportunities for future studies.
