Nor could it ever be. Only ignorant people conflate bulk metallic glass (BMG) with gallium, both of which have no relevance to each other. This conflation or confusion has been promoted on this board for more than fifteen years by people have no ability to read with understanding and logic. Hopefully, you are not one of those, and yet, you must have some purpose (agenda) in posting this link. Exactly, what is your point, here?

The in-depth understanding of the electrochemistry-thermophysics coupling regime is vitally important to maximize the battery performance in real operation and to accelerate the large-scale deployment of LMBs. Although various models to study these processes inside high-temperature all-liquid LMBs offer insights into optimization of cell design and operating conditions, more efforts are still needed to keep pace with the development of the battery chemistry for better LMBs.

The challenges associated with LMBs lead to disappointment, but new findings about the prospects of this emerging battery technology have broadened ambitions [41,42]. The operating temperature of LMBs is related to the screening of electrode materials and electrolytes, solubility of electrodes, wettability, energy density, energy efficiency, etc., so we comprehensively summarize various LMBs according to their operation temperature, 1) high-temperature LMBs (HT-LMBs) operating at above 350 °C, using molten salt electrolyte and two kinds of liquid metal or alloy electrodes; 2) medium-temperature LMBs (MT-LMBs) operating in the temperature range of 100~350 °C, using solid or liquid electrolytes and at least one liquid metal or alloy electrode; and 3) room-temperature LMBs (RT-LMBs) operating at or near room temperature, using solid or liquid electrolytes and at least one liquid metal or alloy electrode (Fig. 1). The recent advances in each type of LMBs are discussed by addressing their fundamental issues in terms of battery chemistry. Besides, the efforts of investigating multi-physics modeling of LMBs are also introduced which help to accelerate the deployment of LMBs for grid energy storage. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S240582972300082X
