This study investigates the behavior of GaInSn (Gallium-Indium-Tin) alloy droplets in a NaOH solution with the addition of aluminum grains. It explores how surface tension gradients drive the Marangoni effect, resulting in droplet deformation and movement. The research highlights the significance of aluminum concentration, which affects hydrogen gas production and surface tension gradients. Using graphite as a substrate reduces droplet pinning and enhances electrochemical effects, thereby facilitating droplet motion.
