About
Qingjie Lu is pioneering the use of gallium-based liquid metals to create materials with unprecedented optical properties. Her research focuses on transforming these typically silver-white metals into vibrant, fluorescent structures through innovative thermal oxidation processing. In her highly cited 2022 work, Lu demonstrated how a unique core–shell structure can induce surface fluorescence in liquid metals, a breakthrough that challenges the conventional limitations of these materials. Her follow-up study introduced a new strategy using liquid metals combined with metal halides to achieve exceptional fluorescence, further expanding the design space for functional materials. With her papers accumulating over 45 citations in just a few years, Lu’s contributions are already shaping the future of optoelectronics and aesthetic materials science. Her work not only solves a fundamental problem—the monochromatic appearance of liquid metals—but also opens doors to applications in sensors, displays, and smart coatings. For students and researchers, Lu’s research exemplifies how creative thinking about material interfaces can unlock entirely new functionalities from well-known substances.
