Nano‐/microparticles of gallium (Ga), as a low‐melting‐point metal, are extensively used in the fields soft electronics and sensors to provide thermal electrical conductivity. However, passivating oxide layer can be formed on surface Ga nano‐/microparticles during synthesis process. This is removed by secondary sintering step, especially mechanical sintering, which generally not controllable process, compromises integrity system.

Metallic nanoarchitectures hold immense value as functional materials across diverse applications. However, major challenges lie in effectively engineering their hierarchical porosity while achieving scalable fabrication at low processing temperatures.
