Funded Activity Summary

Nanomanipulation of Liquid Metal Interfaces via Polyphenol Assembly. This project aims to explore natural polyphenols to functionalise liquid metal (such as gallium and its alloys) nanoparticles via a coordination-driven self-assembly process. This will advance our current understanding of the interfacial chemistry involved in liquid metal processing toward the synthesis of diverse functional systems. It is expected that such a unique combination will result in hybrid nanostructures possessing synergistic properties with potential applications in conductive surface patterning, toxic metal detection and solar steam generation. The developed strategies to manipulate liquid metal interfaces with ubiquitous natural compounds will lay the foundation for future investigations across diverse scientific disciplines.
