One really tricky part of this is going to be that gallium alloys or otherwise attacks a LOT of metals including aluminum and steel. Still should be fine in glass or maybe there is a passivation trick that can prevent gallium attacking the surfaces.
Otherwise platinum on carbon (and now platinum/gallium alloy) can do lots of useful reactions mostly hydrogenations.
- girvo 4y agoPt/C and Pd/C can also do super neat hydrogen rearrangements. Fascinating catalysts. Though they like to catch fire when in contact with air, annoyingly.

- hoseja 4y agoIt also oxidizes really fast. Any time you see liquid gallium in a video it develops a nasty sticky crust very fast.
